LiTE-HAUS seeks artists based in or near Berlin to exhibit artworks in a group exhibition in late APRIL into May. We prefer small or medium size works, but don’t hesitate to apply with any size. There is no theme, which will allow more opportunities for artists and create a diverse show that attracts more people.

Donations for larger artworks will be determined if selected.

Artists cannot choose where the artwork will hang in the gallery rooms. We will install your work and gallery-sit.
