“We want to help. But what can we do? Little to nothing. We only have our pictures. It’s not much, but this is what we can contribute: collect donations and give away our favorite pictures,” says Barbara Yelin, illustrator, author, and co-organizer of the charity auction “Pictures for Ukraine”.

From April 6 to 13, 2022, and in cooperation with the Literaturhaus Munich, eleven renowned Munich and Augsburg illustrators are donating one of their originals to support the people of Ukraine. Quint Buchholz’s picture “Man on the Water” is also part of the auction.

100% of the proceeds will go to the people of Ukraine.

Those who are interested can find further information, look at the pictures, follow the bidding process, and place bids on the website of the Literaturhaus Munich.

“Blutenburg Summer Stage” is a culture program of the International Youth Library Foundation of Blutenburg Castle that will really make you forget the current restrictions on cultural life.

From July 12 to September 6, 2020 a large number of different open air events will take place in the castle courtyard (or at Jella Lepman Hall in case of bad weather) every day and evening. There will be readings, plays and concerts for children, adolescents and adults.

Among many artists like Paul Maar, Erhard Dietl, and the TangoBravo group, Quint Buchholz will also be participating. Accompanied by live music by Juli Linden (violin) and Anna Rehker (cello), he will be reading a “Praise of Slowness”: stories and poems by Johann Wolgang Goethe, Mascha Kaléko, Toni Morrison, Theodor Storm, W. C. Williams, and many others.

An evening for calming down and taking the time to fully indulge in summer’s pleasures. More information about the event (in German) as well as a registration link can be found on the International Youth Library’s website.

The German Academy for Children’s and Adolescent’s Literature of the St. Michael’s Association celebrated World Book Day (April 2020) with an online reading series .

On May 4, Quint Buchholz was invited to the show and recited from his Sleep Well, Little Bear (Hanser, 2011). The reading (in German) can still be watched online, here on our website or on Youtube.

In times of cancelled cultural events the Bavarian Broadcasting Service (Bayerischer Rundfunk) is communicating in different ways with those hungry for culture. On the newly created website “Culture Stage”, much is offered to entertain, inform and give incentive for reflection.

Right now, three pictures out of the newest books by Quint Buchholz are exhibited there, pictures from The Ocean Book (Insel-Bücherei) and To Everything There is a Season (Hanser). Three wonderful little texts, meditations on time and quietness by Niels Beintker, form the commentary.

It is definitely worth dropping by and having a little look around!
