Dear artists,

this year the board cordially invites you again to the bbk berlin's bi-annual general meeting on May 24, 2022, followed by a barbecue.

The board, the office and the staff* of our societies have demanded a lot of commitment and working time from themselves. There has been more than enough to do and to cope with in the last almost two years. The board's report is broadly based, which is also influenced by the current political situation. Due to the state and federal elections, we can and must report on changes. From our invitations and press releases, members could see that things are not going smoothly in the studio rental program. We are confronted - with growing incomprehension - with political decisions that put the working spaces for visual arts in serious danger and, as a consequence, can also mean irretrievable loss of the studios.

The scandal surrounding the so-called "Kunsthalle Berlin" in Tempelhof Airport has focused much attention on these kinds of political decisions in the last six months. In January, the board had initiated an event on this.

Now Russia's war against Ukraine keeps the world in suspense. Many artists and many of their artworks, collections and museums are in danger, are irretrievably destroyed. Many have lost everything, have to start from scratch and need our support. Rescue operations are underway for people and their works. The first event took place in March. We will also report on this.

At the current general meeting, elections for the board of directors are scheduled. Connected with this is the report of the auditors. Therefore we ask you for numerous attendance.

We ask all participants to wear a FFP2 mask at the meeting. Thank you!

We propose the following agenda:
