Galerie Lisi Hämmerle.

Since 1989, Galerie Lisi Hämmerle has been a cornerstone of Bregenz’s contemporary art scene, offering a dynamic contrast to the city’s larger museums. Founded and run by its namesake owner, this compact gallery focuses on showcasing emerging Austrian and international talent, often giving younger artists their first solo exhibitions. The program is defined by a self-described "Stilmix," where traditional painting and sculpture share space with experimental video installations, photography, and new-media objects. It is a highly active, working gallery that values international dialogue—having previously collaborated with Detroit's Museum of New Art—while remaining deeply rooted in the Vorarlberg region. Free to enter and quick to visit, it is an essential stop for a pulse check on the region's evolving art landscape.
