An international student art exhibition presented simultaneously across selected European universities and online — as an official satellite event of the New European Bauhaus Festival, Brussels, 9–13 June 2026. There are currently plans to hold the exhibition physically at the Bauhaus University in Weimar as well.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Bauhaus Nova is the flagship cultural event of the BAUHAUS4EU Student Council, uniting students from eleven European universities in a shared act of creation and discovery.

This year's edition explores what lies beneath the surface — the unseen. Under the theme "Beauty Unseen", students are invited to reveal the hidden beauty, quiet stories, and invisible connections that shape our shared European experience: the subtle interplay of light and shadow, the quiet rhythms of everyday life, the gestures that pass unnoticed, and the traces of creativity that transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

THE EXHIBITION

Selected works will be displayed simultaneously at some of the partner universities across Europe and accessible worldwide through a digital online gallery on the BAUHAUS4EU website. As an official New European Bauhaus satellite event, the exhibition is also open to attendees of the NEB Festival in Brussels during 9–13 June 2026.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE

Students currently enrolled at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar or at one of the other ten partner universities of the BAUHAUS4EU Alliance are eligible to submit. Individual and group submissions of up to five participants are welcome.

The digital medium remains open. Accepted formats include: Digital art, graphic design, sound art, short films, performance videos, digital fashion design, and other digitally created formats.
