 48h Neukölln - Kunstfestival 28, 29, 30 Juni 2024

03/04/05 July 2026

Exciting, open, courageous and free.

 

This is 48 Stunden Neukölln. An art festival that offers artists of all disciplines places to develop and present their art for 48 hours every year! Here in Neukölln, the district full of possibilities, diverse people, colourful locations and an unbelievably diverse art scene, there is a lot to discover! 

 

But keep in mind:

48 Stunden Neukölln is a low-budget festival that is financed purely through funding. Organised by a dedicated festival management duo, it acts as a free platform for artists. This enables all participants, whether professional or amateur, to present their art to a wide audience, raise their profile and gain valuable experience. You also become part of an inclusive, large and dynamic network.

Things are really heating up now. We’re coordinating the remaining venues and finalizing details with the artists. And, of course, there’s plenty more to do: printing jobs, fire safety regulations, putting together the program, planning the opening, distributing materials, public relations, and so on and so forth.

Behind the scenes, we’re now focusing our efforts on logistics: We’re in close contact with the authorities and the Neukölln district to secure the necessary permits.

 

To all artists: The submission phase is officially over. A huge thank you to everyone who finalized their projects on time and, once again this year, brought so many new, exciting venues in the neighborhood on board! Your commitment is what makes the festival possible.

 

Important note regarding the program: Since the deadline has passed, projects that have not yet been fully developed or linked to a venue will unfortunately no longer be able to participate in the 2026 festival. We ask for your understanding that we now need a final set of data for printing and the approval processes.
