WACOM BOOTH

THE ART DEPARTMENT BERLIN 2025 (SOLD OUT)

Partner in The Art Department Wacom has prepared an extensive program for you at the festival.

Throughout both days you can come by their booth and test the Wacom devices. You don’t need to be an experienced artist to do so, don’t worry about your skills. Also don’t hesitate to ask questions, the Wacom booth is the best place for you to get personalised advice about which tablet might be the most suitable.

DESIGN A STICKER AND TAKE PART IN THE GIVAWAY

Throughout the day you can design your own sticker. Best thing is that all designs, regardless of their quality, will take part in a raffle and stand a chance to win a Wacom tablet. Wacom will giveaway devices to someone who joined the new European Social Media channels Instagram and LinkedIn and who designed and printed their stickers at the Wacom booth. Cool right? The winner will be announced on 25 May, on the Betonhalle stage at 17:20.

Q&As: PROTECTING YOUR ART WITH WACOM YUIFY

Last but not least, you’ll get the chance to discover Wacom Yuify – the revolutionary tool that gives artists complete control over their digital creations. In this 15-minute session by UI/UX designer and illustrator Jessica Priesmeyer, learn how Yuify’s hidden micromark technology secures your authorship, even in the face of screenshots, cropping, or edits. There will be two Q&As sessions giving you a chance to ask all the questions you might have about this technology.
