Ursula Jobst: Memorial exhibition opened in the Lindenau Museum!

In the Lindenau Museum Altenburg, an important commemoration exhibition will be opened for the versatile artist and committed art teacher Ursula Jobst. Until October 19, 2025, works from various creative phases from Jobst will be presented under the title "drawing board and needle cushion", including silhouette cuts, textile applications, collages and print -graphic work. The exhibition will open on Thursday, July 17, 2025, at 6 p.m. in the interim location of the museum in Kunstgasse 1. Admission to the exhibition is free, which is inviting for those interested in art and the general public.

Ursula Jobst, who died in Altenburg in November 2024 at the age of 95, left an impressive heir. She played a central role in the founding of the studio of Fine Art in 1971, which is now continued as a "studio" of the Lindenau Museum. Jobst picked up educational policy ideas from the founder of the museum Bernhard August von Lindenau and thus laid the foundation stone for today's courses that are aimed at all generations.

artistic work and pedagogical meaning

For almost 50 years, Ursula Jobst offered practical art lessons in Altenburg and was known for their ability to encourage others in their artistic development. From 1960 in particular, she headed children's painting circles in the Volkshaus and Pionierhaus as well as in the brown coal combination Rositz. Her passion for art education is also reflected in her many years of work as the head of the studio.

In the exhibition, selected work by Jobst on the art wall in interim is shown. This works illustrate the diverse artistic techniques that Jobst dominated and which she passed on to students in her lessons. "It is important to honor the importance of Ursula Jobst for art education in Thuringia," says Dr. Benjamin Spira, who will talk about her life's work at the opening.

The exhibition "drawing board and needle pillow" becomes not only a tribute to the artist, but also in a place of encounter for everyone who is interested in art and its mediation.
