Berlin's Zeughausmesse, Fair for Modern Craft, has been taking place in the Schlüterhof of the German Historical Museum since December 2004. Within a very short time thanks to the high standard of quality the Zeughausmesse has established itself as one of the leading fairs for contemporary art for everyday use. The participating artists are selected by a panel of judges. Once a year in winter three female and male artists respectively are honoured for their exceptional achievements with the 'Prize for Modern Craft sponsored by the Berlin Volksbank.
The Berlin Zeughausmesse, is organised by the Berufsverband Angewandte Kunst (Professional Association for Modern Craft) Berlin-Brandenburg e.V. From 2012 onwards the fair will be held once a year in December instead of previously twice a year. The Schlüterhof of the German Historical Museum provides the perfect ambience for this fair. As early as 1844 a great variety of Berlin arts and crafts were represented at this location in the framework of the ‘Allgemeine Deutsche Gewerbeausstellung’ (general German trade exhibition) to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the German Customs Union. Today, in this era of soulless industrial product uniformity, the Zeughausmesse has made it its mission to sharpen people's senses with respect to the beauty and special quality of fine objects of everyday use, as well as jewellery, which are manufactured on the basis of traditional craftsmanship with distinctive artistic characteristics.
