Why this record is closed

In its press release of 10 February 2022 the organiser stated that this would be "die letzte ARTe in der Messe Sindelfingen" ("the last ARTe in Messe Sindelfingen"), because the Messe Sindelfingen site was to be repurposed during 2022: "Das Areal wird im Verlauf des Jahres 2022 in eine neue Nutzung uebergehen." Kerstan added that the ARTe was to get a new home from 2023.

Where the brand is today

The ARTe brand continues under the same organiser at six other German locations - Wiesbaden (since 2019), Konstanz (2021), Burg Stettenfels (2021), Osnabrueck (2023), Stuttgart (2023) and Dortmund (2024) - with published dates in 2026/2027. Sindelfingen no longer appears anywhere in the organiser's line-up, and the organiser's own site search returns no result for "Sindelfingen".
