At the Berlin Art Week, hundreds of galleries present new artistic position in the works of international and local artists - a highlight of the contemporary art scene in Berlin.
Whether innovative individual positions or thematically curated group shows, during Berlin Art Week the art and culture producers show with a great deal of creativity and commitment that Berlin rightly has the reputation of an internationally attractive and innovative art metropolis. Once again this year, an expert jury will select further temporary partners, including project spaces, off-spaces and artists' initiatives, who will present a strong programme for Berlin Art Week, reflecting the city's vibrant reputation as a place of national and international art production.
Exhibitions, installations and events in galleries, project spaces and private collections illustrate how lively and changeable the city's art scene is. Artists, collectors, gallery owners, museum directors and art lovers from all over the world will come together at Berlin Art Week for this and for the first Talking Galleries/Berlin panel discussions.
To kick off Berlin Art Week, museums, art associations, and exhibition venues will host openings for their new programs on Wednesday. Thursday’s schedule features the Positions Berlin Art Fair at Tempelhof Airport and Gallery Night, before the independent art scene takes center stage on Friday with the Featured Night. On Saturday, Berlin’s private collections will open their doors, offering exclusive tours of spaces not normally accessible to the public. To wrap up Berlin Art Week, Sunday will once again bring together the full diversity of the festival: artist talks, guided tours, and the program in the Berlin Art Week Garden will bring the festival to a close.
In 2026, the Kulturforum will become the central hub of Berlin Art Week. The “Berlin Art Week Garden” invites visitors to linger with talks, workshops, screenings, and a “Reading Garden,” and serves as a hub for information, tours, and the entire festival program. In addition, several festival highlights will take place here, including performances by Ersan Mondtag and Nadim Samman at the Neue Nationalgalerie, as well as the “Day in the Green” with a diverse program and a long banquet table to close out the festival.
