Colors, tranquility, and creative break in the Library Berliner Platz

The Library Berliner Platz in Erfurt invites you to a relaxed creative afternoon on Thursday, July 23, 2026. During the "Mandala Journey", participants will create their own images using painting by numbers and acrylic pens – a low-threshold art experience that requires no prior knowledge and sharpens the perception of color, rhythm, and concentration.

A format between library, art, and mindfulness

The event is aimed at adults and combines cultural education with a soothing, calm contemplation of the work while creating. Step by step, the templates fill with lines, areas, and color fields. From this simple method, a personal artwork emerges, simultaneously releasing relaxation and a desire for creativity.

Why this art experience works so well

It is precisely the reduction that makes it appealing: no performance pressure, no prior knowledge, no complicated entry. Instead, a quiet exhibition atmosphere arises in the library, where material, hand movement, and color effects are at the forefront. Acrylic pens provide clear contours and a lively, opaque surface to the motifs.

A creative afternoon for personal aesthetic experience

The mandala motifs address the need for order, repetition, and concentration. Participants will experience how small areas develop into a harmonious overall image. The offering promotes not only creativity but also a conscious form of aesthetic experience – ideal for anyone who wants to not only observe art but also create it themselves.

The library as a place of cultural education

With such participatory formats, the City and Regional Library Erfurt demonstrates how lively cultural education can be in everyday life. The library becomes an open space for encounters, relaxation, and creative work. This is exactly where the quality of this afternoon lies: low-threshold, inspiring, and pleasantly decelerated.

Conclusion: The "Mandala Journey" promises a friendly introduction to personal creativity and a calming art experience right in the heart of Erfurt. Anyone looking for a relaxed, free, and sensory afternoon should definitely plan to attend this event and experience it on-site.
