The KINDL Art Education programme offers opportunities for exchange and discovery. Our diverse activities are aimed at a wide-ranging audience. People of all ages, schools, and local initiatives are invited to come together at the KINDL to explore contemporary art exhibitions, learn about the artworks, artists, and history of the former brewery, and express their creativity in our art education spaces. A highlight is 50 Gramm Kunst, an annual project where individual creations form a collective artwork exhibited in the Kesselhaus of the KINDL. We offer guided tours, workshops, and long-term projects and cooperations.

Every summer, 50 Gramm Kunst invites children, teens, and adults to contribute to a collective artwork presented in the 20 x 20 x 20 metre Kesselhaus. Participants create 50-gram objects using various materials, either at home or in one of the free workshops. These individual creations are then displayed together as a hanging mobile in an exhibition at the KINDL.

Outreach / Cooperations
Hermann-Boddin-Schule
Since 2017, the project Die Blauen Bücher has been a cornerstone of neighbourly cooperations in art education. Children from the school directly adjacent to the KINDL visit exhibitions regularly throughout their primary school years. Playful workshops encourage the students to engage with contemporary art. The children document their thoughts, ideas, feelings, and experiences at the KINDL in their “Blue Books” – a creative diary of their time at the KINDL. Each participant receives a KINDL pass, which also allows them to guide their loved ones through the exhibitions free of charge.
KinderKultur-Club
Founded in Neukölln in 2023, our cooperation with the KinderKultur-Club expands the KINDL art education programme with an extracurricular participatory format. Children in the club are invited to visit the KINDL regularly and gain behind-the-scenes insights from curators, exhibition technicians, and artists. Participants learn about the process of creating an exhibition – from the initial concept and the empty space to the opening. During the course of the project, the children also create their own artistic works, which are presented in a hands-on exhibition during Berlin’s KinderKulturMonat. The project collaborates with refugee shelters in Neukölln to reach children who face significant barriers to social participation.
KinderKulturMonat
The KinderKulturMonat is a citywide, month-long cultural festival for children aged 4 to 12, organised annually in Berlin since 2012. Throughout October, children can participate in hands-on workshops and activities in cultural venues across the city, including museums, schools for art and music, theatres, galleries, dance schools, and cinemas. The KINDL contributes by offering workshops on two weekends, encouraging children to engage with the exhibitions through playful and practical approaches.
