One of the aims of Affordable Art Fair Berlin is to connect a vibrant international flair with the local gallery scene of the city. Berlin alone has 400+ galleries, from the small and private, to big and established names. The city can express itself with an immense density of galleries, spread all over, making Berlin a fundamental art-metropoles of Europe.
At this year’s fair, we’re thrilled to welcome 65 participating galleries from 15 different countries. 18 of these galleries are based Berlin, and we’d love to introduce you.
Here, you’ll find a selection of five local galleries exhibiting with us at Affordable Art Fair Berlin 2026. Get to know their specific concept ahead of your visit, and everything you need to know as you explore their stands at the fair.
BERLIN-CHARLOTTENBURG
artnow Gallery, Fasanenstraße 42, 10719 Berlin
Located at the famous Fasanenstraße in Charlottenburg, in a beautiful gallery space with an impressive stucco-decorated ceiling, artnow Gallery presents selected artists with distinct positions.
The gallery owners, Ulrike and Felix, focus on self-contained and highly aesthetic art, often presenting minimalistic work with clear lines beside floral and landscape paintings. You’ll recognise a gentle and refined feel, which runs through the works of the presented artists.
During their regular taking events and exhibition openings, often connected with an acoustic company, you’ll meet a range of regularly returning clients who enjoy the neighbourly atmosphere of the area.
artnow Gallery considers itself a vivid forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences between artists, collectors, museums, customers, and everyone interested in art. They seek to represent artists who work with both their mind and heart. Ulrike and Felix want to give their artists the setting, room, and framework they need to present their work and discuss their conceptions, visions and positions. If this resonates with you, we’d recommend for you to visit their stand at the fair this spring.
galerie fineart berlin | Niebuhrstraße 71, 10629 Berlin
Right around the corner you’ll find Galerie feinart berlin, which was founded in 2017 by artist and philosopher Maria Wirth; also Director and curator of the gallery. Since then, the gallery has risen to become a key location for contemporary art in the old, prosperous Charlottenburg district. Now, they often hold an impressive six to eight exhibitions per year.
Located in Berlin-Charlottenburg, the gallery represents contemporary art across painting, graphic art, and object-based practices. With a curatorial focus on figurative work, the gallery showcases artists whose approaches explore the relationship between humanity, history, society, and nature. Alongside its program of living artists, feinart is also committed to preserving and promoting significant artistic legacies. Through exhibitions, readings, artist talks, and performances, the gallery fosters meaningful conversations and public engagement.
Galerie feinart has been exhibiting with us since 2024, and we’re thrilled to welcome them to our third Berlin edition this April. Discover a perfectly curated selection of powerful artworks and visit them at stand B4!
BERLIN-SCHÖNEBERG
ATM Gallery Berlin, Lützowstraße 6, 10785 Berlin
ATM Gallery Berlin sees itself as a translator and mediator of art from public space. You can find them located in Schöneberg, right around the corner from Neue Nationalgaliere, in a cozy basement space filled with art. The gallery space hosts a thrilling atmosphere of well-curated exhibitions. Owner, Marc, firmly believes in the creative power of a young, contemporary and urban art movement whose potential is far from exhausted.
Marc presents the most diverse facets of artists whose creative origins lie in the essence of our modern metropolises. This careful selection reflects the broad palette and original power of a young, urban generation.
BERLIN-MITTE
bba gallery | Köpenicker Str. 96, 10179 Berlin
Led by Renata and Vishal and located in Berlin-Mitte, bba gallery has worked since 2017 with empowering ‘emerging’ to ‘mid-career’ artists from all over the world. These terms don’t really matter of course, what matters is that the artists have someone on their side to champion their work.
The name BBA stands for ‘Berlin Blue Art’, taken from the original name for the pigment ‘Prussian Blue’. A shining example of mastery and innovation, Berlin Blue was created during the 18th century to combat shades of blue that were prone to fading. This colour was revolutionary, allowing artists to capture the mysterious beauty of the night sky or the aura of the ocean; a blue so deep it almost resembles black. The successful experimentation and enduring power of Prussian, or ‘Berlin Blue,’ perfectly represent our staying power, constant evolution, and tireless pursuit of artistic progression.
Beside running the open and light gallery space with continuing exhibitions and opening events, Renata and Vishal also founded BBA Prizes, an internationally renowned prize for photography.
Serpen Gallery | Auguststr. 83, 10117 Berlin
With the Serpen’ Gallery, Berlin now has its first venue for contemporary Ukrainian art. Two years ago, Natalia came to Berlin from Ukraine and wanted to do something meaningful. Then, by chance, the gallery on Auguststrasse closed down and were looking for a new tenant; this was the starting point for Serpen Gallery. “Serpen” is the Ukrainian word for the month of August, connected to the street name in Berlin.
Natalia’s aim is that collectors start buying Ukrainian art and for Ukrainian art to become better known. At the time being, contemporary Ukrainian art simply doesn’t exist on the European map right now and she hopes that the Serpen Gallery, as a small Ukrainian cultural center, will contribute to changing that.
