With national and international art, the "Purple Path" linked Chemnitz with the surrounding area during the Capital of Culture year 2025 and attracted art enthusiasts from all over the world. The Purple Path is an art trail with works by more than 60 international artists, connecting Chemnitz and more than 30 surrounding municipalities in the region.
A new association has taken up the cause of maintaining and expanding the appeal of this project. The aim is to help preserve and maintain this special art and sculpture trail and continue to use it in a meaningful way for the region, said the chairman of the "Friends of the Purple Path" association, Dresden architect Jens Zander.
The association is modeled on classic museum support associations. Its aim is to raise money for projects and ideas, to network, to organize visiting and educational programmes as well as guided tours and to establish contacts between artists and the public.
