Since the launch of the beta version in September 2015, ART@Berlin is probably the most comprehensive and complete internet portal for art galleries and art exhibitions in Berlin.

Berlin – a world-class art metropolis, but also an art jungle. There are currently more than 400 galleries for contemporary art in Berlin, and the trend is rising – despite the frequent lamentable closures. Around 20,000 artists endeavour to cooperate with or be represented by galleries. Up to 3,000 exhibitions are presented to the public in Berlin every year. This puts Berlin after New York and with London in one of the top 3 places in the ranking for the title of ‘largest art metropolis in the world.’
Dozens of dedicated, art-loving bloggers and editors report on the Berlin art scene. However, it is in the nature of things that they report on individual exhibitions, galleries and artists with heart and passion, but selectively and according to personal inclination or editorial specifications. Often in the form of reviews, i.e. as an afterthought. Due to existing conflicts of interest, only some of the exhibitions taking place in Berlin are presented to art lovers in advance or afterwards. For the published contributions, this takes place via a multitude of channels, making it almost impossible for art lovers to gain an overview of the communicated offerings. This is where ART@Berlin comes to the rescue.
The art information portal ART@Berlin (www.artatberlin.com) brings together all the relevant information for experiencing art exhibitions in Berlin in one virtual place. From detailed descriptions of art exhibitions taking place in Berlin in the future, to the calendar of events with all relevant dates for vernissages, finissages and artist talks, the ART Map, a gallery and museum finder, to the 3D presentation of a large number of art exhibitions in galleries and the presentation of world-famous masterpieces from Berlin museums. ART@Berlin is bilingual in German and English. On almost every page you can switch to the other language using the language button at the top right.
ART@Berlin aims to provide an overview
ART@Berlin sees itself as the art portal for Berlin that presents and supports all protagonists – artists, gallery owners and art professionals – and networks them with art enthusiasts. It aims to strengthen the art and gallery scene in Berlin and make it more visible. On ART@Berlin, art enthusiasts will find protagonists, activities and addresses of all existing galleries, museums and artists in Berlin. It is a platform for all those who want to see and experience art, its artists and the gallery scene in Berlin. ART@Berlin does not see itself as an art critic, because it does not judge or evaluate. ART@Berlin communicates, presents, introduces and discusses.
The aim is to create a virtual place for Berliners interested in art or visitors to Berlin where they can get a complete overview of both upcoming and past exhibitions in Berlin. Art enthusiasts can also find important information about the exhibition venues and galleries, including direct directions on how to get there on foot, by bike, by public transport or by car.
Help spread the message of art
Berlin thrives on diversity and therefore also on a lively art and artist scene. It is an open secret that many of the artists and creative people who enrich this city are not yet able to make a living from their work, or only with difficulty. They are virtually saving up to present Berlin as a cosmopolitan, tolerant and inspiring metropolis. Together we can ensure that art in and from Berlin becomes even better known and more relevant. You can contribute by commenting on the website or on Instagram. The aim of ART@Berlin is to work together to expand and deepen interest in art in Berlin, break down fears and create a public sphere for artists and art. #artmakesbeautiful
