When the capital transforms into one of the biggest festivals for contemporary art in the fall, Berlin Art Week is back. From September 11 to 15, 2024, the 13th Berlin Art Week will present what the contemporary Berlin art scene has to offer at more than 100 venues. Together with renowned museums and art institutions, private collections, project spaces and numerous galleries, the festival week invites you to a top-class program.

A large number of national and international artists are representing Berlin’s diverse art scene this year. From Mariechen Danz at the Berlinische Galerie to Samuel Fosso at the Kindl-Zentrum für zeitgenössische Kunst, Sigmar Polke at the Schinkel Pavillon or Candida Höfer at the Akademie der Künste to Gisèle Vienne at Haus am Waldsee, the Georg Kolbe Museum and the Sophiensaele, there are exciting positions for all visitors to discover.
In addition to impressive individual positions, fascinating group exhibitions will also open during the festival week. For example, C/O Berlin and the Ostkreuz photo agency will take a look at the capital in the 1990s, while the Para-Kollektiv at the nGbK will examine the colonial history of the houseplant. Exclusive performance specials will also attract visitors to the HAU Hebbel am Ufer, the Neue Nationalgalerie and the Hamburger Bahnhof-Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart. Selected private collections will also provide unique insights into the focal points of their collections. The art market will also be in full swing during Berlin Art Week. The Positions Berlin Art Fair opens with 110 international galleries and a focus on South Korea, while more than fifty of Berlin’s most important galleries at Gallery Weekend Berlin invite all night owls to a Gallery Night. Up-and-coming gallery owners will also be honored with the VBKI Berlin Galleries Award.
Visitors can also be particularly excited about the partners in the ‘BAW Featured’ section. For the second time, Berlin projects had the chance to apply for a place in the festival program. Twelve special projects and eight project spaces and initiatives were selected from over 150 submissions to be presented as part of Berlin Art Week 2024. The four-member Selection Committee consisted of Emma Enderby (Director of KW Institute for Contemporary Art), Nele Heinevetter (Founder of Tropez), Christian Kaspar Schwarm (Member of the Board of Trustees of Freunde der Nationalgalerie) and Mona Stehle (Artistic Director of Berlin Art Week). From representatives of the independent scene in collectively used spaces to museum institutions, the 20 selected partners will also enrich Berlin Art Week 2024. There are some unusual and new places to discover: visitors to Spoiler at Cank will enter an abandoned department store, celebrate the reopening of ZK/U-Zentrum für Kunst und Urbanistik and help reactivate the Spree Canal with Fluss Bad Berlin.
As a central meeting point for all visitors, the festival meeting point ‘BAW Garten’ invites you to discover the entire Berlin Art Week program for free and outside. For five days, art enthusiasts and the curious can come together here to get in the mood for the festival with performances, workshops, drinks and refreshments. The location of this year’s BAW Garden will be announced at the end of the month.
Berlin Art Week is a project of Kulturprojekte Berlin. It is funded by the Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion, the Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). It is realized with the support of Berliner Volksbank eG.
