Galerie Nord

The Department of Art, Culture, and History in Berlin-Mitte is constantly exploring and testing new models for how the district’s art venues can be programmed, maintained, and further developed in order to reach as broad, diverse, and local an audience as possible. A new chapter is now beginning for Galerie Nord—driven by a forward-looking concept that remains firmly rooted in the Moabit neighborhood. Starting in 2026, the association parallelgesellschaft e.V. will take over the exhibition operations for part of Galerie Nord’s exhibition spaces.
As part of the spatial reorganization, the new municipal exhibition space “Studio | Galerie Nord” will also be created. Through an annual open call, the department will provide artists, curators, and art educators with the opportunity to realize their own exhibition projects in the studio. This will strengthen the independent art scene at the municipal level. The studio thus becomes an important hub for the independent art scene, which has been disproportionately affected by the current cuts to state-funded programs. Through a shift in programming, this process of opening up also reaches a wide range of new audiences and networks.
