Former film academy and former squat that now houses a multi-media alternative cultural center. With rooms for music and film, a non-profit printing company and studios.

Creative space

This non-profit has been feeding Amsterdam’s alternative art scene with great projects since 1999, back when squatting buildings was the thing to do for young emerging artists.

Since then, they’ve grown and gone ‘legit’, but without losing their spirit for creative adventures, and the space offers a programme that’s not only rich in concerts, dance and every other kind of performance under the sun but also art exhibits, workshops and film screenings.

They also host a small bookshop and they hire studio space for artists, lecturers and musicians. In brief, it’s a fabulous, independent free-for-all of emerging creativity.
