about us

The Flutgraben e.V. is a non-profit, self-organized art association and studio in Berlin-Treptow. The association emerges from a polyphonic community of artists, groups and initiatives who contribute programmatically and organizationally in changing constellations. Flutgraben e.V. is financially fully self-supporting through the permanent rental of the studio space and the temporary rental of the communal areas. In the general assembly of the members (MVV stands for Mitgliedervollversammlung) important issues such as structural changes, programmatic orientation and far-reaching economic decisions are discussed and decided.

board

Once a year, the MVV elects the board that represents the members. The board makes suggestions for the topics to be addressed in the MVV and is responsible for the implementation of the resolutions. In addition, the board is actively trying to maintain the house and develops perspectives for the future of the Flutgraben building. In this context, they also keep an eye on the cultural and political dimensions of the association.
