Kunst-Hand-Fest Spreenhagen

A curated stage for regional arts and crafts

The Kunst-Hand-Fest in Spreenhagen is more than a classic arts and crafts market: it is a carefully curated sales exhibition that brings together 21 selected positions from Berlin and Brandenburg every year. At the rural estate Latzwall 6 in Spreenhagen, in the heart of the Oder-Spree district, collectors, lovers of contemporary design, and visitors looking for handmade unique pieces meet.

The disciplines 2026

The selection of exhibitors covers an exceptionally wide spectrum: ceramicists such as Asta Volkensfeld, Christiane Landbeck, or Thorben Heuer show vessels between function and sculpture. Jewelry designers such as Anja Irina Dau and Cornelia Frahm present wearable objects made of silver, gold, and unusual materials. Fashion designers such as Eliza Piazzese and Gabriela Pohl create wearable pieces beyond mass production. In addition, there is painting (Joshua Hoskins, Rostyslav Voronko), sculpture (Olaf Hannemann), photography (Louise Amelie), as well as works in wood and leather.

Atmosphere and ambition

Organizers Sylvia Wegener and Mark Schwolow focus on quality over quantity. Instead of long market rows, an intimate encounter between the public and creators is created in the garden and courtyards of Latzwall. The artists are present themselves, talk about their techniques, and accept commissions. It is precisely this directness that distinguishes the festival from large commercial markets.

Spreenhagen — rural setting on the outskirts of Berlin

Spreenhagen is located between Berlin and Frankfurt (Oder), nestled in the forest and meadow landscape of the Oder-Spree lake district. Those planning a long weekend can combine a visit to the Kunst-Hand-Fest with a tour of the nearby Spreewald or Märkische Schweiz. For Berliners, Spreenhagen is reachable in under an hour by car — the Kunst-Hand-Fest is therefore a popular excursion for a weekend away from the city.

Applications and participation

The organizers are continuously accepting applications for the 2026 edition. Artists or designers interested can find an application form on the official website. Positions with a clear concept, high craftsmanship quality, and a unique signature are selected.
