Sunday Art Makers (SAM)
Every first Sunday of the month
From May to October
Free admission
For children, young people and families
No registration required
Every first Sunday of the month, it’s all about discovering, trying out and getting involved with contemporary art! Together with experienced art educators and creative professionals, children, young people and adults can discover, experience and help shape contemporary art in new, interactive ways.
Due to the weather, the SAM workshops at the Bärzwinger only take place between May and October. Upcoming events will be announced on the homepage.
Neighbourhood Day
Since 2024, the Bärenzwinger has been inviting all neighbours and interested parties to an afternoon of coffee and cake. Under the motto ‘Coffee, cake and … ’, the Bärenzwinger opens its doors one day per exhibition for a cosy get-together of the neighbourhood. While we enjoy coffee and homemade cake, we also have the opportunity to chat informally about art and culture.
Information about the Neighbourhood Days will be announced on the homepage.
Education Program
The educational programs invite children and young people to playfully discover the Bärenzwinger, its history, architecture and exhibitions through various senses.
Art educators and artists make the exhibition site accessible in creative and diverse ways.
Curatorial Tours
On request, the curators and/or artists offer guided tours in the exhibitions. Please feel free to send us an email.
Exhibition-Guides
During our opening hours, our team of mediators communicate the concepts and content of the exhibitions and events, answer questions and give short tours of the premises.
The educational program is made possible by the educational networks “Educationnetzwerk der kommunalen Galerien” and “Urbane Künste ERbeLEBEN” of the Department of Art, Culture and History, District Office Berlin Mitte and funded by the program “Securing and Strengthening Local Educational Networks on a Sustainable Basis” of the Senate Department for Education, Youth and Family.
