The artist Anton Schnedl caused a stir with his colorful and expressive works entitled "Hidden Stories". 2 Months for fresh colors in the monastery church. Schnedl, a native of Murau, whose job as a trained locksmith brought him to Arnoldstein and who stayed here because of love, started his artistic work only after his retirement. Also GVin Sigrid Wucherer, the chairwoman of the Arnoldstein pensioners' association GRin Barbara Preschan and Vzbgm.in Michaela Scheurer were enthusiastic about the pictures.
“Klongquadrat” were visiting the monastery ruins for the first time, the "8Gsong" and the "Kaudawelsch Musi" and they were just as enthusiastic about the space as the listeners were about their music- and vocal contributions. Bat, Carinthian songs and upbeat folk music by the consistently young musicians caused storms of enthusiasm and many, many encores. Vzbgm.in and cultural advisor Michaela Scheurer moderated the evening and the interviews with the singers often made the audience laugh. Among the guests: Bgm. Antolitsch and Tourism Advisor GV Fertala.
One of Arnoldstein's famous sons was also commemorated as part of the 100-year anniversary celebrations: by the painter Georg Schumy. The pictures on display were all loans from private individuals and focused on Schumy's immediate homeland. He dedicated a special phase of his creative work to landscape paintings, in the center of which very often the Dobratsch, the monastery ruins and various views of Untergailtal villages. Josef Grilz-Seger BA was responsible as curator, with the active support of Prof. Bernhard Wolfsgruber and Martin Wiegele has created an extraordinary exhibition worth seeing. The opening of the exhibition included:. Erich Naverschnig, a nephew of Georg Schumy, Vzbgm.in Scheurer, GV Fertala, and bgm. Antolitsch.
