Emotions - they influence our everyday life and are an essential feature of being human. As part of the “Art Fest” exhibition, artists presented their expressive works on the theme of “emotions” on the campus of the international university in May. "This year's Art Fest exhibition was literally a rollercoaster of emotions, ranging from excitement to joy and gratitude," says Andrea Pin Morales, who coordinated the event with her fellow students.
520 visitors, 170 exhibits, 62 artists - that was the Art Fest 2019, beyond all feelings, in numbers. Every year, the students of Jacobs University organize the art exhibition. With impressive results thanks to the great dedication of the students. Besides the 28 members of the organization team, 30 students contributed to the performances and workshops. In addition to the art exhibition, various workshops were offered. One of these workshops was led by Cornelia Lohmann from the art gallery “Kunstraum Lesum”. She was enthusiastic about the event. "I enjoyed every moment and was overwhelmed by the variety and thoughtfulness of the works," she emphasizes. The main organizers Andrea Pin Morales and Regina Velazquez are very happy about the commitment and the great interest of local art lovers. "We have organized the Art Fest with two goals in mind: to connect and to inspire people", says Velazquez. She studies Industrial Engineering and Management at Jacobs University. "It was really heartwarming to see people from all over the world come together to enjoy art, be inspired and open up to different forms of expression," states the 22-year-old.
