CoroArt Passionate commitment
Regional art scene Art sponsoring at the Von der Heydt Museum
Coroplast Group has supported the regional art scene for more than ten years. In cooperation with the Von der Heydt Museum in Wuppertal, we support high-caliber exhibitions every year and not only invite art lovers and representatives from the worlds of politics and commerce, but also our employees to exclusive guided tours together with the artists and the museum curator Dr. Gerhardt Finckh.
Coroplast has promoted numerous exhibitions at the Von der Heydt Museum and Art Gallery since 2007, including “Sven Drühl: Works 2001–2013,” “Maike Freess,” and “Tony Cragg – Retrospective – Parts of the World.” “Tobias Zielony: Photography and Video”, “Thomas Wrede: Photography 1991-2018", " Oskar Schlemmer" and "Hans-Christian-Schink: Friendship request NO 1".
Promotion of young upcoming talents The CoroArt Art Award
In 2012, our passion for art prompted us to initiate the CoroArt Art Award, which we have regularly presented ever since. In collaboration with the School of Art and Design at the University of Wuppertal, Coroplast Group rewards talented artists and designers for outstanding creative works that they make using our company’s products. We want to give budding young artists a creative challenge, a platform to present their works, and promote them in general. After the award presentation, we purchase many of the works to exhibit them at our premises, enabling our employees to share our passion for art.
In 2019, we awarded our Art Prize for the sixth time, which was endowed with a total of 3.000 euros. The motto this year was “Wind of Change.” The award ceremony took place on November 5, and the winners were selected by a jury composed of several experts.
Art within the company CoroArt for employees – art within arm’s reach
One glance at our various locations tells you that art enjoys a high priority at Coroplast Group. Regardless of whether conference rooms, hallways, or staff offices, a great number of pictures and sculptures adorn the walls, transforming the company into an exhibition area. Dotted among the works of celebrated people are the creations of talented young artists and designers, such as the winners of our CoroArt contest.
These works make Coroplast a place of creativity and motivation, where art is an integral element of inspiration in our daily work.
