University of the Arts Berlin
The University of the Arts Berlin (UdK) is one of the largest art universities in Europe. Around 4,000 students are distributed across four faculties — Fine Arts, Design, Music, and Performing Arts — as well as the Jazz Institute Berlin and the Berlin Career College. The university is spread across several locations in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf; the main campus is at Hardenbergstraße 11, with other major buildings located at Straße des 17. Juni 118, Einsteinufer 43, Grunewaldstraße 2–5, Fasanenstraße 1b, Lietzenburger Straße 45, Bundesallee 1–12, and Uferstraße 23.
Open House Days
Once a year, traditionally in July, the UdK opens all its buildings to the public as part of the Rundgang. For three days, visitors can freely move between the locations and explore the interior of one of Europe's most important art universities. Students present their semester and final projects directly in their studios, workshops, and rehearsal rooms — from sculpture studios with unfinished works to fashion shows and concerts in the concert hall.
Program and Atmosphere
What makes the Rundgang special: It's not a classic festival with curated programming, but an open format that showcases the ongoing work of the art university. You walk through a studio, chat with a student about their performance series, hear an improvisation on the piano next door, and then head to a fashion show on the ground floor. The atmosphere is unpretentious and curious — both prospective art students and the Berlin cultural public are part of the audience. Admission free.
UdK Rundgang — edition 2026
