About us

GEH8 is a dynamic place for contemporary art and culture in Dresden. We offer artists affordable studios and organize various events such as exhibitions, concerts, workshops and readings.

Our work deals with current social challenges. According to the motto “Art+”, we seek interfaces and promote interdisciplinary dialog between art and other areas such as urban development and the environment.

GEH8 offers a platform to both local and international, up-and-coming and established artists. At the same time, we are committed to cultural education and the neighborhood we are a part of, and are always open to new approaches that enrich the experimental character of our space.

The history of GEH8 began in 2007, when committed artists, architects, designers and urban planners collaborated to transform the former workshop of Deutsche Bahn into a creative space. Through personal commitment and the will to create a space for exchange and artistic production, GEH8 grew from a studio community to a well-known and established center for art and culture.
