bildungswerk des bbk berlin

The bildungswerk is a non-profit subsidiary of the bbk berlin (professional association of visual artists in Berlin).

It provides a comprehensive qualification programme and advisory service that is unique in Berlin and beyond.

Each year up to 1000 visual artists living in Berlin benefit from the bbk berlin’s bildungswerk. Membership of bbk berlin is not required.

The range of courses on offer is constantly expanding. New dates may also be added to the current programme. We therefore recommend subscribing to the newsletter and visiting our website.

Professionalisation programme

The bildungswerk offers visual artists in Berlin a very diverse further education and training programme. On the one hand, it provides artists with support with the strategic, technology-based and digital development of their own artistic work. On the other hand, it assists them in developing the tools needed to cope with and master their everyday tasks as entrepreneurs. This includes self-management, presentation and communication skills as well as up-to-date specialised legal, tax and accounting knowledge.
