Professionalisation programme

The bbk berlin's bildungswerk is a not-for-profit subsidiary of the berufsverband bildender künstler*innen berlin. It offers an extensive programme to help improve the professionalisation of fine artists in Berlin. The professional field of fine art is constantly changing and expanding, which means that specialist knowledge and cultural techniques need to be updated and that constant further training is necessary.

Offers of the bildungswerk

Seminars, workshops and information events at the bbk berlin's bildungswerk form a system of educational units building upon and complementing each other. Professional knowledge is imparted to provide comprehensive consolidation of artistic work. All professional artists in Berlin can participate in the events and opportunities provided by the bildungswerk; membership in the bbk berlin e.V. is not required.

Lecturers and instructors

Many instructors in the programme are artists or arts educators themselves, active in contemporary art discourse and production. They also have expertise in fields such as art history, the art market, marketing, and media competence, and/or are experts in project management, communication and presentation, IT, and new media.

Pool of lecturers: If you would like to contribute your knowledge and skills as an instructor to the professionalisation programme for visual artists in Berlin, please send a message or application to @email

Coaching

The coaching we offer aims to provide professional orientation and advice on the topic of artists' professionalisation. This may involve detailed questions as well as fundamental stocktaking of one's artistic perspective. In this assessment, it is important to clarify individual goals and circumstances, strengths and deficits, in order to open up concrete options (to act) for each artist.

Lecturers are available for individual orientation sessions and in-depth study of individual problems. One, or in exceptional cases, two hours per person can be booked. Each interested party must justify their need. The specialist coaching will always take place at the respective instructor's location or at the bbk berlin's bildungswerk.
