The Stadtgalerie Kiel is showing ‘XI. Premio Volker Walter Feierabend-Stiftung. Aktuelle Positionen italienischer Kunst’ from 14 to 26 July 2026, according to the city’s KulturNewsletter. The listing places the exhibition at the Stadtgalerie Kiel on Andreas-Gayk-Straße 31 in Kiel, and the newsletter also notes a public guided tour of the show on Thursday, 23 July at 5 p.m., led by art historian Liska-Malin Jensen. Admission to the tour is free.
The exhibition appears in a July newsletter sent by Kiel’s cultural redaction, which groups together the city’s summer programme across several institutions. In that context, the Stadtgalerie entry is one of the gallery’s featured art offerings for the period, alongside other listings from the KulturForum and the city’s museum network. The newsletter identifies the artistically focused show as a current presentation of Italian art positions, using the German subtitle ‘Aktuelle Positionen italienischer Kunst’.
The title indicates that this is the 11th edition of the Premio Volker Walter Feierabend-Stiftung. While the source material does not provide curatorial details or a list of participating artists, it does establish the exhibition’s continuing series status and its concentration on contemporary Italian art. The title alone suggests an award or programme associated with the Feierabend Foundation, but the newsletter does not explain the selection process, prize structure or institutional partners in further detail.
The Stadtgalerie Kiel itself is one of the city’s cultural venues listed on the official Kiel website, which also links the gallery to exhibition programming, art education and the Heinrich-Ehmsen-Stiftung. In the newsletter, the gallery is identified simply with its address, Andreas-Gayk-Straße 31, 24103 Kiel, and its contact information appears within the city’s broader cultural mailing. The same newsletter states that the KulturForum is in summer break and that regular programming will resume in September, with an early opening on 12 August for a concert tied to the Hindemith Prize of the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival.
Alongside the main exhibition notice, the newsletter highlights additional shows at the Stadtgalerie, including ‘Prima Kunst: Mathilda Serjeant - Try Me’ and two bachelor exhibitions by Lilly Franz Altmann and Julian Lautenschlager, both dated 14 to 26 July 2026 in the rooms of the Heinrich-Ehmsen-Stiftung. These listings show the gallery functioning within a broader summer cluster of displays, but the only exhibition for which the newsletter provides a specific public event is ‘XI. Premio Volker Walter Feierabend-Stiftung’. The guided tour is scheduled for 23 July at 5 p.m., with the tour leader named in the newsletter and no entry fee required.
The city’s online event calendar also mirrors the gallery listing, confirming the exhibition’s run from 14 to 26 July 2026 at Stadtgalerie Kiel. No further descriptive text about the works or installation appears in the verified source material. The available information fixes the show as a short summer presentation in Kiel, with the free public tour on 23 July offering the clearest point of visitor access in the published notice.
