Eventspace Satellit Leipzig

In the location's words:

Satellit Leipzig is a project space that supports artists, creatives and cultural workers in Leipzig and offers them space for collaboration, exchange and development. As a kind of creative and cultural platform, the satellite connects people and projects that are artistically and socially engaged and promote alternative cultural projects.

Background and idea

The name "Satellit" refers to the idea of creating an "orbit" around Leipzig's cultural scene. The project has its origins in the realization that Leipzig, as a growing city, needs more space and infrastructure for independent art and culture. "Satellit Leipzig" was therefore created as a reaction to the often limited spaces and opportunities for artists and cultural workers who do not always want to be tied to established institutions. The initiative offers a platform for alternative culture that is open to new ideas and experiments.

Goals and tasks

The aim of Satellit Leipzig is to promote creative exchange and to make Leipzig's cultural and art scene more diverse and accessible. The platform is aimed at artists, musicians, performers, designers and other creative people who want to provide new impetus with their projects. The most important tasks of Satellit Leipzig include

• Providing work and event space.
• Promoting cooperation through networking and joint events
• Organization of events and workshops: Readings, MeetUps, classes, self-help groups, SpeakUp Nights and more

Special features and significance for Leipzig

A special feature of Satellit Leipzig is its low-threshold concept: it also gives young, less established artists access to professional resources and a broad audience. The project thus not only promotes the city's cultural diversity, but also contributes to its creative and social cohesion. By offering affordable and flexible spaces, Satellit Leipzig also supports the independence of cultural professionals and strengthens Leipzig's reputation as a creative and vibrant cultural metropolis.
