Weekly Group Exhibitions Monthly Art Market Day

A platform for contemporary art, built around artists. Atrium Arts Galleria invites independent artists to participate in our ongoing programme of curated group exhibitions in Berlin — a meeting point where contemporary art can be discovered, experienced, discussed and collected. With two weekly vernissages and a monthly Art Market Day, we connect artists with audiences, collectors and potential buyers. Whether you are an emerging artist or an established independent creative, we welcome you.

Weekly Group Exhibitions

Atrium Arts Galleria organises two group exhibitions every week, each featuring eight selected artists.

Thursday Vernissage

19:00–23:00

8 selected artists

Saturday Vernissage

19:00–23:00

8 selected artists

Each vernissage is a one-evening group exhibition, bringing together a small selection of artists to share their work with visitors and potential buyers. Each participating artist is allocated their own wall, 3 metres high and 2 to 2.6 metres long (the exact size of every wall is shown in the 3D gallery when you apply), allowing for an individual presentation within the collective exhibition.

Section 02

Setup, Installation & Artwork Collection

To ensure a smooth exhibition experience and allow sufficient preparation time, the following schedule applies.

Thursday exhibition

  • Thursday, 16:00 — Setup and installation begin. Artists have three hours to install their artworks.
  • Thursday, 19:00 — Doors open and the vernissage begins.
  • Thursday, 23:00 — Exhibition event concludes.
  • Saturday, 16:00 — Thursday exhibitors collect their artworks, so the gallery can prepare the Saturday exhibition.

Saturday exhibition

  • Saturday, 16:00 — Setup and installation begin.
  • Saturday, 19:00 — Doors open and the vernissage begins.
  • Saturday, 23:00 — Exhibition event concludes.
  • Before the following Thursday — Saturday exhibitors collect their artworks; the exact time is coordinated individually with the gallery.

Artists are kindly asked to respect the agreed installation and collection schedules.

Section 03

Artistic Freedom & Artwork Selection

We believe in artistic individuality and creative freedom. There are no assigned exhibition themes or restrictions on artistic concepts. We welcome:

  • Painting and mixed media
  • Photography
  • Illustration and drawing
  • Printmaking and graphic art
  • Other forms of visual art suitable for wall display

Present a selection that reflects your artistic identity and current practice. There is no fixed limit on the number of artworks — the selection should fit comfortably on your wall (3 m high; the length of each wall is shown when you choose it). Particularly large or heavy works should be discussed with the gallery in advance.

All participating artists and artworks are reviewed and selected by the gallery to create a balanced and engaging group exhibition.

Section 04

The Weekly Finissage

Following the Thursday and Saturday vernissages, Atrium Arts Galleria hosts a special weekly Finissage bringing together all the artists who exhibited that week.

Curated half-selection

For the Finissage, the gallery selects half of the artworks from each participating artist's collection — a focused exhibition of the strongest pieces of the week, and a second chance for visitors to experience the best of the programme.

Important: only the artworks selected by the gallery are included. Artists are notified of the selection in advance. The Finissage is the bridge to the monthly Art Market Day — the final, most exclusive selection begins here.

Section 05

Exclusive Pre-Selection for Art Market Day

The Monthly Art Market Day takes place on the last Sunday of every month — our most exclusive event, connecting independent artists with dedicated collectors, buyers and enthusiasts.

  • Curated from the Finissage: the final selection is made from artworks showcased at the preceding Finissages.
  • Strict curation: only a very limited number of artworks are selected, for a high-end environment.
  • Collector focus: works highly suitable for collectors that fit the premium vision of the market.
  • Direct invitation: we personally invite collectors and art lovers interested in meeting new artists and buying original art.

Being part of the artist pool does not guarantee selection. The gallery contacts selected artists directly with details, sales conditions and presentation formats.

Applying is free. If your application is accepted, you confirm your exhibition date with a one-time €50 confirmation fee — this secures your wall for the evening.

Artists retain control over the presentation and pricing of their artworks and handle their own direct sales during the exhibition. For sales made during a weekly exhibition the gallery receives a 30% commission of the final selling price; 70% belongs to the artist.

Recommended price range

We encourage including accessible works, around €300 or less — a recommendation, not a limit.

Commission and conditions for the Art Market Day are communicated separately before artists confirm participation in a specific edition.

Section 07

Our Vision: An International Art Community

Atrium Arts is a contemporary art platform and creative community connecting independent artists with exhibitions, audiences, collectors and new opportunities — through our Berlin gallery, exhibition programme, artist network and cultural initiatives.

Following our Berlin programme, our next ambition is to expand to Barcelona, Amsterdam and Paris next year. Artists exhibiting in Berlin may be considered for future exhibitions, collaborations and projects in these cities.

We believe in art. We connect artists. We bring art closer to collectors.

Applying is free. You need an artist profile to choose your date and wall.
