Percent-for-Art is a programme for commissioning artworks as part of construction or renovation projects of public buildings such as schools, youth centres or administrative buildings, funded at a rate of 1% of the construction budget.

Here you can find out more about all the public art installations in the Mitte district created since 2012, as well as the artists, locations, educational programmes, and art competitions.

Art in urban spaces engages with the historical, social, and/or architectural complexity of urban spaces and creates forums through which socially relevant topics are brought to public attention, discussed, and reflected upon.

Guided tours, discussion series, workshops, and other educational and discourse formats are offered on an irregular basis as part of the mowe Festival for Art and Urban Culture, Month of Art in Architecture (MKB), or KISR – Art in Urban Space. At ever-changing locations and in different urban spaces, they offer concrete opportunities to engage intensively with art, architecture, urban history, and urban development and to enter into conversation.

Art, culture, and history are important components of public space and socio-spatial, urban development. The areas of activity of the Urban Culture Department in the Art, Culture, and History Division of the Berlin Mitte District Office include art in construction, art in urban spaces, and cultural urban and location development in the Mitte district.
