The Art Department Berlin

24th to 25th of May 2025

Berlin creatives, rebels and rascals, here we come! For the fourth edition of The Art Department Berlin we dive into the process of creating and put a spotlight on the artists that are responsible of designing worlds, characters and stories of some of the biggest productions.

Set up as a festival and conference, The Art Department focusses and celebrates the art and design process for film, animation and games. We dive into the creative process and put a spotlight on artists that are responsible for the creation of world, characters and stories!

Launched in 2017 in The Netherlands the fest has welcomed many industry greats such as character designers James Baxter (The Lion King), Crash McCreery (Pirates of the Caribbean), Carter Goodridge (Despicable Me), Loish (Horizon Zero Dawn), Peter De Sève (Ice Age), Angela Sung (Bad Guys), Aaron Blaise (Brother Bear), Borja Montoro (Moana), but also amazing concept artists, VR heroes and world builders like Jama Jurabaev (Ready Player One), FX Goby (Back to the Moon) and Santa Monica Studios (God of War) on our stage.

Year by year the event is steadily growing and we’re currently happy to welcome around 7.000 filmmakers, concept artists and other creatives in Eindhoven in our impressive industrial venue Klokgebouw.
In 2019 we expanded our adventures to the amazing city of Berlin, in Germany. First hosted in Vollgutlager, then in Alte Münze, our events engage around 1.500 creatives per edition.
In 2025 we are returning to Berlin but in the new location Silent Green.
