Kindred Berlin: How to start collecting art (co-host with SEE OUR VISION Gallery)

About

Join the Kindred community for a night of art viewing, hosted by member Sofia at SEE OUR VISION Gallery. This gathering is designed to help you connect with your local Kindred community, swap travel and hosting stories, share tips, and ask questions about Kindred directly with fellow members. Whether you are a seasoned host, a curious traveler, or somewhere in between, you are welcome here. 🎨 Activity details Between a poster from Etsy and a Van Gogh, there’s a whole world in between. Finding a work you truly connect with feels like falling in love — curiosity, obsession, and something that stays with you longer than expected. The beginning of taste, and the desire to live with art that changes a room, or something within you. On June 11that 7pm, SEE OUR VISION Gallery invites Kindred members to an evening on the beginnings of art collecting: exploring taste, attention, and what it means to live with art. We’ll cover how to start collecting at any budget, understand contemporary art without intimidation, and what makes an artwork stay with us. We will talk about: How to understand your taste How to begin collecting on different budgets What makes an artwork stay with us How to approach contemporary art without intimidation Editions, originals, pricing, framing, and how buying art actually works Why collections often become reflections of identity and memory The evening ends with a guided exercise to create your own curated collection, with feedback from gallery curators. Ticket cost: Free to attend What's included: This is a self-led gathering — guests are welcome to bring anything they’d enjoy sharing while spending the evening with art and conversation. 📍 Where See Our Vision Gallery - Erich-Weinert-Straße 135, 10409 Berlin This gathering is part of Kindred’s ongoing effort to help members connect locally through simple, repeatable moments of togetherness.

A product manager by day and an art collector by night, she works at the gallery as a passion project — a way to engage with art and express herself without being an artist. Becoming an art collector was never something she imagined would be accessible, but through conversations and quiet observations at the gallery, she came to realize that it isn’t reserved for a select few. Anyone can begin. Through her work, she hopes to share a simple message with the community: art collecting is a powerful, often overlooked form of self-expression.
