C/O Berlin is an exhibition space for photography and visual media. As a nonprofit organization, C/O Berlin presents works by respected artists, supports emerging talents, and welcomes everyone to discover contemporary visual culture. As a place to exchange new ideas, C/O Berlin organizes Artist Talks, Panel Discussions, Film Screenings and guided tours, offering visitors a place to exchange thoughts on the exhibition program and engage in current debates on visual culture. Supporting emerging talents is an integral aspect of C/O Berlin’s mission. The yearly C/O Berlin Talent Award is the only prize in Europe to recognize an Artist and a Theorist aged 35 years old or younger.

C/O Berlin Education completes the offerings and covers the important area of visual training and art education. The four categories Juniors, Teens, Adults and Perspectives allow participants to learn about photography, film, and design with professional guidance, and to playfully create their own works.

The C/O Berlin Foundation operates independently of commercial interests. It is financed through ticket sales, book sales, sponsorships, project grants, and donations, as well as funds from the supporters’ association C/O Berlin Friends. Since 2020/21 financial year, C/O Berlin has received funding from the Senate Department of Culture and Europe and the Berlin Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises.
