GEDOK centenary celebrations in Germany

Overview

The GEDOK artists' association, founded in 1926 by Ida Dehmel, is marking its 100th anniversary with various commemorative events across Germany. As Europe’s oldest and largest network for female artists, the organization aims to provide professional space for women in a male-dominated art world.

Celebrations include exhibitions and installations in Heidelberg and Baden-Württemberg, such as the ‘un/sichtbar’ LandArt installation and the ‘Das Ganze und die Teile’ exhibition. In Leipzig, the GEDOK Mitteldeutschland regional group scheduled a program for September 20, 2026, featuring a service at the Nikolaikirche, a panel discussion titled ‘Art as a Profession – Brilliant Path or Harsh Reality’, and musical performances. Federal Minister Karin Prien is serving as the patron for the anniversary year.
