RESIDENCY PROGRAMME FOR ARTIST COLLECTIVES AND GROUPS
Commencing in the spring of 2024, Spreepark Art Space will offer a residency programme for international artist groups. Interdisciplinary collectives and project-based artist groups not yet living and working in Berlin are invited to apply for a three-month residency at the Eierhäuschen, a newly renovated historic venue. An inspiring space for artistic reflection and action in which sustainable hospitality and a sense of community are key.
The Eierhäuschen is situated in the midst of a preserved landscape, directly adjacent to the former amusement park Spreepark. With the extensive redesign of the Spreepark into a new public park, visitors are invited to reflect and experiment.
Spreepark Art Space provides artists with the space to explore the link between art and the surrounding landscape. The unique backdrop of the former Spreepark amusement park takes centre stage, providing artists with the opportunity to engage with this place of change and transformation. In addition to a wide range of interactive events and educational opportunities, we enable residents to experience and explore the connection between people and nature, art and the environment, landscape and architecture.
Residents are selected once a year via an open call by an international curatorial board.
For the current year, the curatorial board has nominated three ensembles to open the residency programme in spring, summer and autumn.
The application deadline for the residencies in 2025 will be announced here shortly.
- Spreepark Art Space offers four fixed residency periods in 2025, during which a stay of around 3 months is available free of charge.
- The residency at Spreepark Art Space fosters a shared creative environment and an open exchange of ideas by accommodating artist groups and collectives of four people.

An open call takes place every year, offering artist groups the opportunity to apply for a residency.
The application deadline for residencies in 2024 has already passed. The upcoming open call will be published by the end of spring 2024. We recommend subscribing to our newsletter to stay informed about the exact date for upcoming open calls.
The final selection of residents is made by an international curatorial board that meets once a year after the call is closed.
The selection for 2024 has been completed. The next selection session for the year 2025 is expected to take place in autumn 2024.
