About the Between Bridges Berlin Artist Residency
Between Bridges is an independent foundation and exhibition space located in Berlin-Schöneberg. The residency supports artists who benefit from an extended development period combined with a public outcome.

The residency takes place within a 100-square-meter facility that includes workspaces, exhibition areas, storage, office facilities, a kitchen, and a bathroom. Artists are expected to work independently throughout the residency period. Between Bridges provides professional connections, exhibition support, and visibility while allowing artists substantial freedom in shaping their projects.
