The project Art on Common Ground reflects the diversity of Germany and sets socio-political priorities. The artworks draw on the distinctive characteristics of cities and regions, building bridges between urban and rural areas and the Californian metropolis.

The artistic presentations aim to make art accessible to a broad audience and to strengthen the visibility of the cultural scene, with the project conveying, in an accessible way, an impression of the outstanding and international significance of Germany's art and culture scene as a whole.
