At the Leipzig Light Festival on 9 October, HGB students will present artistic works under the title "Unvereint/Vereint" (Ununited/United) on Augustusplatz and in front of the museum in the "Runden Ecke".
In the HGB Gallery, the second edition of the open format Radical Receptionist* II invites visitors to explore other forms of encounter and social interaction (24 October - 8 November).
The Library Theme Day on 24 October marks the finale of the "150 Years of the HGB Library" anniversary programme : students present interactive and creative works, visitors can try out VR/computer games from the collection live, book art/graphic design teachers invite you to a "buffet of a thousand leaves" and much more.
For the first time this year, the HGB will host the get-together of the state's film students for DOK Leipzig on 30 October. The HGB Gallery will also host the award ceremony for the Leipzig Ring 2024, which is awarded as part of the festival, on 3 November, along with a screening of the winning film.
Score, Sketch, Script? The infinite art conversation is the title of an exhibition, seminar and discussion format at the HGB Gallery, which will present artistic works that use "talking about" as a method or artistic process from 21 November.
The HGB traditionally starts the new year with the Open Day (9 January), to which not only prospective students are invited to take a look at the classes, workshops and studios and talk to students and teachers. On the tour from 13-16 February, all classes and courses present the results of their work from the past year and the 2024/25 Study Prize of the Friends of the University and Sparkasse Leipzig is awarded.
