Rental

FAQ

• Who

  We make our spaces available for rehearsals, seminars, and other (internal) events in the fields of art and culture, as well as education. We offer fair rental rates, good acoustics, and a pleasant atmosphere for DIY operations (i.e. we are not a venue offering professional renting services).
  For inquiries regarding public events, we decide on a case-by-case basis whether the event fits our profile and is compatible with the exploratorium’s program schedule.
  We occasionally collaborate in the realization of projects in the field of improvised music and related art forms. Decisions regarding collaborations are made through an internal curatorial process, and individual terms and conditions apply.

  We prefer requests for individual renting dates (or maximum one to four subsequent renting dates).

  Reduced rental rates are available upon request for active ensemble members, as well as for artists and freelancers closely associated with explo (active at explo on stage, as lecturers, or as workshop leaders within the past 18 months). If this applies, please complete the relevant fields in the rental request form.

  We kindly ask you to refrain from rental inquiries regarding the following, as we cannot consider:

  • regular appointments or serial events at recurring, fixed times
  • Private parties and birthday celebrations
  • Standard dance events (floors not suitable)
  • Rock music (soundproofing not suitable)
  • Organizers/institutions from the political or religious/spiritual spectrum.

• When

  Upon completing the planning of exploratoriums half term event and seminar program, we publish the booking calender with free time slots for renting. Here’s where and when to find this information:

  • Mid June we publish the calendar August/September until mid-February of the following year (i.e. starting end of Berlin summer holidays to mid-Februar)
  • Mid December we publish the calendar covering the perios mid-February until June/July (i.e. until the Berlin summer holidays start)
  • Mid April we publish our program during the Berlin summer holidays 

  There is a minimum rental period of 4 hours per booking process (either in one go or spread over several dates).

• Services

  Please see the rental prices below. The listed prices include one room briefing free of charge. For additional briefings we will charge a flat rate of 20 € per briefing.

  Piano tuning can be arranged through exploratorium (if need be), it will cost approximately €130-150. You will have a separate contractual relationship with the piano tune for which exploratorium will not be responsible (regarding services, invoicing, or any warranty).

  Technical support (sound, lighting) must also be contractually agreed upon; due to limited personnel resources, this is only possible by prior arrangement and for an additional charge of €40 per hour.
