Best-of exhibition in the castle hall
August 2 + 3, 2025 in the castle hall
of the Oldenburg Palace
On the theme of "brand new - brandnew", the participants of the market submit objects and thus demonstrate their mastery of craftsmanship and artistic ceramics. These often idiosyncratic reinterpretations of the theme provide an impressive overview of the diversity of contemporary ceramics. The Keramiktage Oldenburg are thus also a "school of seeing".
The Detlef Schmidt-Wilkens Prize for Ceramics and the Audience Prize will be awarded among the exhibitors.

"Ceramics in the powder tower"
July 6 - August 31, 2025, Pulverturm Oldenburg, Schloßwall 3
This year's prizewinner Carlo Leopold Broschewitz presents a ceramic production in the medieval powder tower that transports the viewer into a figurative world theater. The cheerful, playful people and animals are caught between dream and reality and develop a strong sculptural presence through their painterly colors and material diversity. Behind their façade, the figures conceal secrets that are tinged with melancholy and unease. The exhibition title "Ice Age" not only echoes the culinary delights of summer, but also reflects social issues such as climate change and social coldness.
Opening with award ceremony: Sunday, July 6, 2025, 11:15 a.m.
Opening hours of the exhibition:
Friday, 14.00 to 18.00
Saturday and Sunday, 11.00 to 18.00
