Unique artist-in-residence project
ORGANISATION’S MISSION
HomeBase is an acclaimed international site-specific, artist-run urban art project, that explores the notion of Home. The HomeBase Project objectives are to seek out areas of the urban environment undergoing transitional changes, and to integrate contemporary art into the everyday urban experience as an educational tool for cross-cultural dialog, social integration, and community cultivation.
The topic of “Home” at the basis of this inquiry is a universal archetype that engages all populations regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, social and cultural background.

HomeBase LAB
After five successful HomeBase Projects in NYC and Berlin, we are now building the Homebase LAB, our European home and headquarters, set in an old brewery in Berlin.
The center features a research center, a library, an educational program, a garden, a microbrewery, the HomeBase Project office, a rehearsal room, and 17 beautiful and spacious studios with high ceilings and natural light. At the core of the HomeBase LAB is an educational Artist-in-Residence program exploring the meaning of Home and meaningful urban living.
