New Patrons

Since 2018, Museum Abteiberg has served as the Rhineland anchor institution for New Patrons, a citizen-led art commissioning initiative.

The initiative, founded in France in 1990, is based on a protocol that reimagines art production as a process in which citizens collectively commission new works.
