Exhibitions by artists from the ato network


ato's art network consists of a large number of artists and art agents. They are regularly invited to exhibitions or organise their own artistic interventions and public exhibition formats.

We present the current events from our network in our calendar. We cordially invite you to drop by!


As many people come from Karlsruhe or Berlin, a current exhibition can often be discovered in both cities. But of course also in other places.


Karlsruhe and Berlin have very different art scenes, which we are happy to inform you about. If you are interested, you can find more information here:
