“The aim of art is not to depict reality,
but the creation of one's own world." - Fernando Botero
This quote reflects the essence of our art community "Artists in Motion": United by our shared passion for art, we came together more than seven years ago on March 1, 2018, as the art community "KiB - Artists on the Boulevard." Our unique world thrives on the multitude of our artists, the diversity of our painting techniques, and the abundance of painting media in which our artists express their creativity.

Initially, the artworks of our ten founding members could be admired in the boulevard at Ludwigsplatz. Just over three weeks after the founding of our community, a large number of visitors marveled at the works of twelve painters and two sculptors at our opening vernissage on March 25, 2018.

We took the move of our gallery to the Carree in Darmstadt on July 1, 2021, after just over three years, as an opportunity to give our art community the characteristic name "KiB - Artists in Motion."

On November 11, 2023, we decided to close our permanent gallery location and stay in tune with the times – opening an online gallery. To date, our artists' works can be found there. Fortunately, as artists in motion, this allows us to invest our time in planning and organizing regular exhibitions at various venues, thereby even enabling direct artistic exchange with almost all of our eleven artists. Furthermore, our visitors can enjoy a constant flow of new art through these exhibitions. For all art lovers who want to see some of our artists' work outside of our exhibitions, we maintain a permanent showcase near Luisenplatz in Darmstadt.
