Here is our selection of exhibitions and events for Berlin Art Week 2026, running from 9 to 13 September. Marking its 15th anniversary, the festival brings together over 100 openings and 300 events across 125 partner venues—from major museums and independent spaces to the Positions Berlin Art Fair at Tempelhof Airport. Across five days, the city will host exhibitions, performances, film screenings, and talks.
This year’s programme directly connects global contemporary debates with Berlin’s local scene. Moving beyond traditional gallery formats, the 2026 edition highlights experimental encounters, interventions in public space, and the performing arts. Our selection of shows spotlights institutional projects alongside independent spaces and commercial galleries, reflecting Berlin’s role as a vital center for artistic dialogue and debate.
