Activities in Berlin

Activities in Berlin

Besides our exhibitions, we arrange several events all year round. These include our Scandinavian meetingpoint Berlin as well as guided neighbourhood tours.

Scandinavian Meeting Point Berlin – The Nordic Platform

Scandinavian meeting point invites at Galleri Heike Arndt DK to a international evening in the gallery’s showroom in Friedrichshain, Berlin the first Wednesday every month at 7 pm till around 10 pm(except January,February and August).
It should be noted that there is no compulsory attendance at 7pm.

Berlin is a fascinating cultural city that is always full of exciting events and places to go out. This international monthly event works as a cultural and social platform, where people can meet, be introduced to art, exchange experiences about Berlin and maybe find others with the same interests. Something entertaining can be on the evening’s program such as an exhibitionopening or a like – sometimes it is just a cozy forum for conversation. 

Scandinavian Meeting point is a private non-commercial, informal and noncommittal platform, where the idea is that the participants themselves decide the agenda for the evening, depending on what they have on their mind.

In this informal environment, you can make new friends and talk about all that Berlin has to offer, cultural differences, or simply discuss the art pieces on the walls. It is the perfect opportunity to experience Nordic and International art, discuss job opportunities or just to speak your native language. Affordable beverages and snacks are always provided. the Galleri Heike Arndt DK would like to welcome you to a Scandinavian Meeting point.
We look forward to seeing you.

”It does not matter if you have been in Berlin for ages or just arrived yesterday, you are always welcome at the meeting Points, which is what I love about it. And it is so unpredictable – you never know who is going to be there and you always end up meeting new people.”
Sofia, student, Sweden

“Common Nordic bookshelf” here you can recycle your old books to new ones. Drop or take for free! You can pop over daily any time in our gallery at our opening hours, see our current exhibition, have a cup of coffee, chill out and have a chat with our crew. We would be more than happy to show you around in the gallery and introduce you to the ongoing exhibition and at the same time you can discover something new exciting to read.
This is an excellent opportunity to find books in especially Nordic languages and some in German. When you are leaving town, it’s a handy way of getting rid of your books that you don’t want to take with you. You can just drop them off at the gallery and soon it could be someone else’s treasure. Our gallery is a place for laid back encounters and we welcome you to join it at any time!

Neighbourhood walk

”Friedrichshain is a very historical neighbourhood and it was interesting to combine that with information about art in Berlin and how it is moving, so to speak. It is definitely not the last time we are doing one of those tours.”

We arrange guided walks around the former East Berlin district of Friedrichshain. Here, the old eastern environment meets classical architecture and modern features, creating a colourful neighbourhood that still manages to keep certain spots untouched by western influence.

The guided tours are intended for everyone and will be customized based on the interests of the unique individuals. Both small and larger groups are welcome to sign up.
Normally, we include lunch or dinner at one of the local restaurants. The total price for a guided tour and lunch/dinner does not generally exceed € 35 per person.
