ArtCenter Berlin

ArtCenter Berlin is a permanent year-round studio for ArtCenter College of Design.

The satellite studio hosts trans-disciplinary projects as well as department led initiatives, giving students a deeply immersive experience in a city known for creative re-invention. The program is designed to deliberately move students from a traditional school setting into the atmosphere of a pop-up design office, organized like a creative agency.

ArtCenter Berlin also provides a critical link to the Berlin and European community through sponsored studios, industry partnerships and collaborations while providing the College an opportunity to host professional educational workshops for alums and the Berlin creative community.

Berlin is known for its central location and ArtCenter’s program urges students to further investigate the rich cultures of Germany and Europe, beyond Berlin. From field trips to nearby Dessau, home of the Bauhaus school, to other major European art and design centers such as London, Amsterdam, Prague, Paris, Milan, Stockholm and more, students broaden their study away experience, gain fresh insight to their work and discover new opportunities.

The Berlin studio builds on the College’s history in Europe, beginning with ArtCenter College of Design’s Swiss campus in Vevey Switzerland. ArtCenter Europe (1986–1996) graduated more than 500 artists and designers, many of whom continue to make a creative impact in our world today.
