Recording sessions

The BBK Saxony-Anhalt organizes two admission meetings per year, which, in addition to checking the admission criteria, primarily serve to get to know the new members, the board, the admission committee and the employees of the office. We invite the registered artists to present themselves with selected artistic works in a pop-up exhibition and to briefly introduce themselves – including their expectations of the professional association.

The admission meetings usually take place at the beginning of April (in Halle) and the beginning of October (in the respective region in the BBK focus).

Registration deadline

The registration deadlines are usually March 15 (for the April admission session) and September 15 (for the October admission session).
