In the page's words:

The association is compiling a catalog of Hannes Malte Mahler's complete works and thus facilitating academic research into them. Mahler's works and those of other artists, mostly from the Hanover region, are presented in changing exhibitions in 220 square meters of gallery space. In addition, the association organizes readings, concerts, artist talks, etc.

In cooperation with the Sprengel Museum Hannover, the exhibition series "Sprengel@feinkunst" gives a volunteer from the renowned museum the opportunity to curate their own exhibition at feinkunst e.V. once a year.

In 2020, the association launched the "Hannes Malte Mahler - it is art®" art prize. The aim of the prize is to give new impetus to Hanover as an art location. At the same time, it is intended to commemorate the Hanoverian artist Hannes Malte Mahler (1968 - 2016), who died far too young.

feinkunst e.V. was founded in March 2017. The non-profit association was initiated by the heirs of Mahler's artistic estate, Johanna Hey and Oliver Rohde, as well as other companions. Mahler used the name feinkunst for his marketing company during his lifetime and called his studio the "feinkunstraum".
