    Your creative life in Berlin starts here — practical, personal, and stress-free.

    Moving to Berlin as a visual or performance artist is exciting — but it can also feel overwhelming. From housing to health insurance, visa bureaucracy to the art scene’s unspoken rules, there’s a lot to figure out — fast.

    This one-on-one session offers You a soft landing: a warm, personalized introduction to life and work in Berlin, designed especially for artists, project spaces, and small galleries navigating the early stages of settling in.

     

    What’s Included

    In this 60–90 minute consultation, we’ll cover the essentials — tailored to Your situation and artistic goals:

    •    Finding housing, transportation, and navigating public registration

    •    Understanding visa types, artist residence permits, and work eligibility (if needed)

    •    Setting up health insurance, bank accounts, and handling basic admin

    •    Berlin’s art world decoded: how to find Your scene, connect with others, and avoid common pitfalls

    •    Go-to suppliers, studio spaces, funding opportunities, and where to get inspired

    This isn’t legal advice or bureaucratic processing — think of it as Your creative orientation to the city. Structured, informative, and customized — without the overwhelm.

     

    Extras That Make a Difference

    •    A personalized digital resource kit with helpful links, checklists, and artist-focused platforms

    •    A summary email within 24 hours with key takeaways and follow-up suggestions

    •    An optional free 30-minute follow-up session within 1 month

    Why This Service Stands Out

    Berlin Art Life 101 isn’t a generic relocation session — and it’s definitely not a copy-paste expat guide.

    It’s a service built by someone who has spent years working alongside artists in Berlin’s vibrant art scene — and who knows firsthand the challenges of starting fresh here, both professionally and personally.

    What makes it different:

    •    Artist-informed: Tailored specifically for visual and performance artists, project spaces, and small galleries

    •    Real talk: Honest insights and practical steps from someone who’s lived Berlin’s creative learning curve

    •    Fully online: Accessible from anywhere — whether You're here or planning Your move

    •    Cultural fluency: Understand how Berlin’s art world actually works, from logistics to creative dynamics

    •    Community-first: Stay connected through monthly meetups and personal follow-up

    I’m not an artist — but I’ve spent my career supporting them.
This session is practical, clear, and grounded in the real-world needs of creatives building a new chapter in Berlin.
If You're looking for a smart, supportive first step into the city’s art life — this is it.

     

  • €50 (individual coaching) / €35 (per person in a small group)60 min (online)

    Your professional story — clear, confident, and ready for the art world.

    Writing an artist CV or bio can feel like a chore — or worse, a mystery. What should You include? How do You keep it honest but impressive? Do You really need three versions? This session helps You get it right — with real examples, practical tips, and a stress-free approach to writing about Yourself.

     

    What’s Included

    Whether You choose an individual coaching session or join a small group (3–8 people), You’ll learn how to create artist CVs and bios that work for You — not against You:

    •    Understand the difference between CVs, short bios, and extended bios — and when to use each

    •    Structure Your information clearly and avoid common mistakes

    •    Find Your authentic tone — no artspeak or generic fluff

    •    See real examples and do quick live edits together

    •    Get practical templates You can reuse and adapt for different opportunities

    You’ll walk away with clarity, confidence, and a roadmap for sharing Your story — minus the stress.

     

    Extras That Make a Difference

    •    Editable CV & bio templates (Word & PDF)

    •    Digital checklist for final edits

    •    For individual coaching: submit Your draft for short written feedback within 7 days

    •    Access to monthly community meetups (online or in person)

     

    Who It’s For

    This workshop is ideal for:

    •    Emerging and mid-career artists who feel unsure about writing about themselves

    •    Creatives updating old CVs or adapting bios for new opportunities

    •    Anyone who wants real feedback and guidance — beyond Google templates

     

    Where & When

    •    Online via Teams

    •    Weekend sessions available at no extra cost

    •    Group sessions: minimum 3 people (maximum 8)

     

    How to Book

    Send a short message via the contact form with:

    •    A few lines about Your artistic practice

    •    Any specific challenges You have with CVs or bios

    •    Whether You prefer individual coaching or a small group

    •    Your time zone and preferred days

    I’ll respond within 24 hours with available slots or upcoming group dates.

     

    Payment & Cancellation

    •    Invoice & bank transfer due 1 day before the session

    Why This Session Stands Out

    Write It Right isn’t just another generic CV writing class — it’s a session designed by someone who’s read, written, and edited countless artist materials in Berlin’s art world. You get honest insights, practical steps, and a supportive space to learn.

    What makes it different:

    •    Artist-focused: Real guidance for creative CVs and bios — not corporate templates

    •    Real talk: Clarity on what matters and what doesn’t

    •    Flexible: One-on-one or small group — learn how You learn best

    •    Community-first: Stay connected and keep learning through follow-ups

    If You’re tired of second-guessing Your professional story — this is Your place to write it right.

     

  • €50 (individual coaching) / €35 (per person in a small group)60 min (online)

    Your artistic vision — clear, authentic, and ready to share.

    Every artist knows they should have a mission statement — but turning big ideas into a few honest, powerful lines can feel impossible. Is it too vague? Too formal? Too generic? This practical session helps You find the words that feel true — and make sense to curators, funders, and Your audience.

     

    What’s Included

    In this 60-minute session (solo or in a small group of 3–8), You’ll learn how to craft a mission statement that actually fits You:

    •    Understand what a mission statement really is — and how it’s different from a bio or artist statement

    •    Get clear on Your core ideas: what drives You, what You value, who You speak to

    •    Explore practical prompts to shape messy thoughts into clear, simple language

    •    See real examples and compare good vs. generic writing

    •    Learn how to adapt Your statement for different contexts (website, grant, press, open calls)

    •    Share and refine in a supportive setting (group) or with focused 1:1 feedback

    No pretentious “artspeak” here — just clarity, honesty, and a process You can revisit as Your practice grows.

     

    Extras That Make a Difference

    •    PDF guide with prompts & a simple template to rewrite or update anytime

    •    Quick line-by-line checklist for self-editing

    •    For individual sessions: short written feedback on Your draft within 7 days

    •    Access to monthly community meetups (online or in person)

     

    Who It’s For

    This session is ideal for:

    •    Artists, curators, or creative projects that struggle to explain their “why”

    •    Creatives applying for grants, residencies, or open calls

    •    Anyone tired of generic mission statements that don’t sound like Them

     

    Where & When

    •    Online via Teams

    •    Weekend sessions available at no extra cost

    •    Group sessions: minimum 3 people (maximum 8)

    Payment & Cancellation

    •    Invoice & bank transfer due 1 day before the session

    •    Free rescheduling or cancellation up to 48 hours before

     

    Why This Session Stands Out

    This isn’t a generic writing class — it’s a practical, supportive space to get to the heart of Your creative mission. You’ll get honest feedback, real examples, and tools to keep Your statement flexible as You grow.

    What makes it different:

    •    Artist-informed: Guidance that respects Your voice — no forced jargon

    •    Clarity over fluff: Find words that actually make sense to funders, collaborators, and audiences

    •    Flexible: Solo or small group — learn in the way that works best for You

    •    Community-first: Stay connected and revisit Your mission as part of an ongoing practice

    If You’ve ever wondered how to put Your vision into words — this is Your next step.
