12th Höchster Designparcours celebrates the regional creative scene

Whether fashion, photography, handicrafts or upcycling pieces - anyone who appreciates creative design should definitely make their way to Höchst on Saturday, June 30 and Sunday, July 01. As in previous years, the 12th Höchst Design Parcours will be held here in parallel with the popular Altstadtfest (Old Town Festival). For two days, empty spaces that are actually not accessible to the public will be used as meeting places for the regional designer and creative scene - as well as for anyone interested, curious or just passing by.

For six years, the Designparcours has been a fixture in the creative scene of the district. And it has left its mark: Some interim uses in vacant spaces have actually turned into permanent tenancies. In this way, the Parcours sets an example against shop vacancies in Höchst's city centre and for the sustainable revitalisation of the district through the creative industries. A very positive side effect of a nice series of events.

At this twelfth edition, around 60 artists and labels will once again be present at temporary venues as well as in the studios and studios of creative people already permanently based in Höchst. The event starts at 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 30, and opens at 12 p.m. on Sunday, July 1. On both days, the creative stands will be open until 8 pm. All visitors to the trail are invited to take part in the competition and collect stamps at the individual locations. Once you have collected nine stamps, you have the chance to win a shopping voucher worth 50 euros, which can be redeemed at any of the labels on display. So it's doubly worthwhile to visit the various stations on the design trail.

In addition to the sales booths of the creatives, a separate program takes place at many exhibition venues: At Westkunst Nied in Bolongarostraße 112, for example, there is the opportunity to visit the exhibition "Flying Bus" by guest artist Milan Stankov, at the FORMWERKE joint studio in Kranengasse 2 there is the exhibition "FCKPRSM!". THERE IS NO SECRET!" by Mattia Noal and Simone Brizzi. In the "Fährmannshaus" at Höchster Schloßplatz 13 Reinhard Podlich creates portrait drawings of the visitors and at Höchster Markt 5 you can again print a prepared motif yourself at höchst*schön under the motto "Drucken wir zu Gutenbergs Zeiten".

In addition, the Höchster Designparcours Prize 2018 will be awarded to the best three products on Saturday. Jury members Nicole Breevord from the Journal Frankfurt, Joel Fourier - leather goods manufacturer and winner of the Höchster Designpreis 2017 - and Catrin Altenbrand from Studio Pixelgarten will be spoilt for choice when they have to select those from the participating exhibitors who will be rewarded with prize money totalling 1500 euros. The Frankfurt-based Studio Pixelgarten also developed the new logo that will characterize the Höchst Designparcours in the future. The logo will be presented to the public for the first time at the award ceremony of the Höchster Designpreis 2018. All interested parties are cordially invited to the award ceremony by Councillor Mike Josef on Saturday, 30 June, at 8.15 pm. It will take place in the exhibition hall of the Opel car dealership Bucher in Kasinostraße 1a, which will also be used this time as a location for the design parcours.
