Just a few minutes from the U7 Rathaus Neukölln and the U8 Boddinstraße, the mix of culture and the selection of cafes, bars, and restaurants is unbeatable.

This Sunday Artconnect Berlin hosted our monthly Networking Brunch with the wonderful Anja Henkel from Import Projects, and the lovely ladies of the Berlin Music Video Awards. Once guests were seated with their meals and coffees, Ms. Henkel described the history and mission Import Projects, a non-profit curatorial initiative and contemporary arts space in Charlottenburg, which she runs with Dr. Nadim Samman. Guests were introduced to the scope of the space’s exhibitions and were given a glimpse into the future of this unique institution.

Submit your work for the chance to be featured by ikono and Artconnect Berlin! ikono invites Berlin-based artists to take part in a year-long series of open calls, held in collaboration with Artconnect Berlin, to promote the visibility of the arts on a local and international scale. Every other month in 2013, ikono and Artconnect Berlin will invite submissions of work from local artists. Two artworks will be selected from each open call and presented on our local and international media platforms throughout the following month. Each call will focus on a specific artistic medium as a criterion for submission. From January 22 – March 11th, we are searching for submissions of photographers from Berlin-based artists…
