GoArt! Berlin emerged from a desire to bring our years of experience in the art world and the range of contacts we have developed as curators, project organizers and event promoters into a new dynamic form of creative and organizational collaboration. We work as professional mediators among artists, cultural organizations, galleries, collectors, businesses and the public. We use art projects to develop innovative communications solutions, working in the domain of cultural mediation with special, individually tailored art tours for companies, institutions and private clients. We assemble project teams from our pool of well-qualified collaborators for projects of any dimension. Given Berlin’s extraordinary level of cultural activity and our extensive contacts within its large community of artists and cultural producers, we are always familiar with the newest emerging artists, events, and gallery spaces. While our headquarters are in Berlin, we are also superbly equipped for projects involving international cooperation.

Philosophy
Art is at once a form of communication and a conceptual expression whose meaning and nature changes with the context and the viewer. The tension provoked by this double role can lend a multiplicity of perspectives to a single work of art, thus offering every spectator space both for a personal connection and for a dialogue with others. The participatory quality of art and its function as a mirror of social processes lend it a special ability to highten our powers of perception.

GoArt! strives to seize this potential by making creativity visible and mobilizing it in different forms. We connect art lovers with the best of Berlin’s amazing culture and its plethora of talent while promoting Berlin’s international creative scene at the intersection of business and society. In this respect, an important aim in our collaboration with clients is social and cultural sustainability through creative and aesthetic modes of expression.
