About

The Ballery is an independent creative space in Berlin-Schöneberg, founded and directed by Simon Williams

Since opening in 2014, The Ballery has developed through exhibitions, performance, music, dance, artist collaborations and a constantly changing network of people and ideas.

Today, The Ballery is evolving again.

Rather than operating as a conventional gallery with regular public opening hours, it is becoming a workshop, studio and creative laboratory: a place for making, developing, testing and producing new work.

Artists, performers, designers, musicians and other creatives are invited to use the space for residencies, collaborations, rehearsals, workshops, events and new projects. Some things may be public, some may be private, and some may simply be in development.


There is no fixed programme or single definition of what The Ballery should be.
It is a space for people, ideas and possibilities.

Based in Berlin, with connections reaching beyond the city, The Ballery continues to change with the people who pass through it.
