Neukölln is a vibrant and important location for Berlin's contemporary art scene. With a large number of studios, art and project spaces, the district has developed into an important center for creative production. Since 2017, the Department of Culture, in cooperation with Kulturnetzwerk Neukölln e.V. and STADT UND LAND Wohnbauten-Gesellschaft mbH, has been recognizing and promoting outstanding art production in Neukölln by awarding the Neukölln Art Prize. From a large number of applications, the five-member expert jury nominated a total of eight artists who live or work in Neukölln. The Galerie im Saalbau is presenting the nominees' works in a group exhibition. This will give visitors an authentic insight into the diverse art production of Neukölln artists.
The awards are endowed with a total of 6,000 euros:
1st prize - 3,000 euros
2nd prize - 2,000 euros
3rd prize - 1,000 euros
In addition, a special prize from STADT UND LAND Wohnbauten-Gesellschaft mbH will be awarded in the form of a purchase.
