Guests usually conclude their stay with the realisation of a project on the institute's premises. 20 to 30 events come about each year out of the studio program alone: exhibitions, work presentations, performances, and much more. Appr. 40 or 75 square meters, high ceilings of 4,70 meter and large windows, suiteable for various disciplines and purposes. As a rule, guest-artists live and work in their studios. Some outside apartments. With its 25 studios, Künstlerhaus Bethanien represents one of the largest establishments among international residency programs. The history of Künstlerhaus Bethanien is closely linked to the historical Bethanien, an architecturally unique ensemble of buildings on Mariannenplatz in the Berlin borough of Kreuzberg. However, since 2010 Künstlerhaus Bethanien has had a new location in Kottbusser Strasse, at the border between the two Berlin boroughs of Kreuzberg and Neukölln.
