A classic in a new guise: on September 18, our Meet | Greet | Eat format experienced a very special edition. Under the title Meet | Greet | Art , we swapped the usual VBKI Goldberger Saal for the inspiring backdrop of the Friedmann-Hahn Gallery. Around 30 guests took the opportunity to exchange ideas in the midst of contemporary art, gather new inspiration and make valuable contacts.

Founded by Alexander Friedmann-Hahn in 2005 in Berlin-Charlottenburg, the gallery specializes in contemporary figurative painting, photography, sculpture and urban art. Today it represents twenty international artists and presents their works in changing solo and group exhibitions.

A big thank you goes to Mr. Friedmann-Hahn for generously providing the premises and his dedicated hospitality. With impressive expertise, he guided us through the exhibition, shared exciting background information on the works on display and answered numerous questions - a real highlight for all art lovers.

Fine finger food and lively conversation created a lively mix of art enjoyment and networking. The special finale was a round of introductions in which everyone presented their favorite work of art and shared their personal thoughts - a moment that rounded off the evening in a very special way.

We would like to thank all the guests who took part in this new event format and enriched it with their openness and curiosity. Meet | Greet | Art impressively demonstrated how inspiring the interplay between art and networking can be.

We are already looking forward to seeing you again next time!
