MONTHLY MEET-UP "WORKING OUTSIDE AND IN PUBLIC SPACES"
MO 1.7, 18H ACUD Studio
The MONTHLY MEET-UP is a networking meeting for transnational artists who are new in Berlin.
It's summer, even if it doesn't quite feel like it yet. And for many, this is not just an opportunity to spend time in parks and by the lake, but also to make art and culture outside in public spaces. But how does that actually work? What do I need to consider if I want to organize a concert or a rave? What funding opportunities are there? Are there projects and initiatives that I can get involved with?
We invite you to the last MONTHLY MEET-UP before the summer break, this time under the title "Working Outside and in Public Spaces" with the following guests:
