    A workshop day in the visual arts

    Working in the visual arts in Berlin – in November, we are organising the “Visual Arts Workshop and Networking Day” in collaboration with Künstlerhaus Bethanien and the IGBK. 
    The day offers insights into areas relevant to artists’ work and provides opportunities to network with people in Berlin’s art scene. Workshops will address the following questions: How do you find workspaces such as studios and workshops? How do project spaces operate, and how can you establish yourself in the scene? What funding opportunities are available in Berlin for your own projects, and how do you organise a residency? 
    The event is aimed at transnational artists and cultural practitioners in the visual arts who have recently arrived in Berlin or are looking to find their feet in the city and expand their networks.

    We will be providing information about the programme and how to register very soon via our website, newsletter and social media channels.
