Founded by multimedia artist Claudine Hauke, Lakritz was created from a simple belief: that art should be experienced, not merely viewed. It should inspire curiosity, encourage reflection, and help us better understand ourselves, our communities, and the rapidly changing world around us.

Visitors are invited to slow down, step away from the noise of everyday life, and immerse themselves in an environment where art, landscape, and ideas naturally intertwine. Whether spending an hour exploring an exhibition, wandering through the Art Garden, participating in a Forum gathering, or staying for a weekend, Lakritz offers an experience that extends beyond the traditional gallery visit.

Independent and artist-led, Lakritz operates free from institutional agendas and commercial pressures. This freedom allows the space to support thought-provoking contemporary art, foster meaningful dialogue, and create connections between creativity, culture, and environmental awareness.

More than a gallery, Lakritz is a place to pause, explore, and connect. A place where exhibitions become conversations, where nature becomes part of the experience, and where visitors are encouraged to engage with the ideas shaping our world today.
