It’s an art walker’s paradise, hidden in broad daylight, galleries with the latest work of artists from all over the world, cafes where the smoking ban just doesn’t make sense.  It could take you your whole life to experience what the Neukölln art scene has to offer, but thanks to the good people at the Schiller Palais, you can try to cram it all in one night.

Nachtundnebel is a one-night Neukölln arts extravaganza.  Over 65 galleries, studios, and artist workspaces open to the public with special exhibits, performances, mingling, and certainly, lots of free wine in plastic cups.  There three general areas on display: the Schillerpromenade Kiez, the Rathaus Neukölln area along Karl-Marx-Strasse, and the popular Kreuzkölln neighborhood.   

Sound like too much walking? Well hold on just a second.  There are free shuttle taxis taking visitors all around the exhibits beginning at 7pm.  Which is when the event kicks off, incidentally.  How long will it last?  I guess that’s up to you, or, more accurately, the neighbors near the galleries.
