About
Callie’s is a non-profit experimental institution in Berlin dedicated to fostering creativity and cultural exchange through its residency program, exhibitions, and public programs. Housed in a former machine factory in the Wedding district, Callie’s offers private studio spaces, a movement studio with a sprung floor, a cooperative sound studio, and a dedicated writing room. The residency is self-guided, allowing artists at any stage of their careers to explore new ideas without production requirements. Artists-in-residence can also request on-site accommodation in micro-apartments, designed with handmade and custom elements. Callie’s fosters an open and interdisciplinary environment, with periodic informal gatherings, networking opportunities, and access to Berlin’s rich cultural landscape. While the residency covers workspace and resources, it does not provide direct funding for travel or materials. The program is open to visual artists, musicians, choreographers, writers, poets, and researchers, supporting a wide range of creative practices. Residencies typically last six months, with some flexibility for shorter stays.

My time at Callie’s was an invaluable experience, shaped by the support of the outstanding team and the inspiring exchange with fellow residents. I was there during the Covid period—while Berlin, as a cultural hub, was at a standstill, Callie’s provided a space that felt both welcoming and professionally supportive. The studios are remarkably spacious and offer ideal conditions for a wide range of artistic practices. It was also a great opportunity to contribute to the opening of this institution with my exhibition at Callie’s—an experience I deeply appreciate. In short: If you have the opportunity to do a residency at Callie’s—go for it. It’s an exceptional place.
The people working at the residency are super kind and the studios are huge and bright. Very chill
