young friends: art museums

Under the umbrella of the Federation, a new branch has developed.  The “Young Friends” have dedicated themselves to this specific field of work.  The organizers of the 20 Young Friends Groups in the German Federation meet regularly for combined workshops. Their goal is to establish the fine arts as a regular part of young people’s lives and, on the long-term, to found a nationwide network of art and museum enthusiasts.  In June 2007, this initiative publicly formed under the title “Young Friends: Art Museums” (Junge Freunde: Kunstmuseen) and since then has also maintained the internet portal jungefreundekunstmuseen.de.
