Arts Centre for Hoorn

Four institutions trying to cope with the harsh reality of less structural financial support, less people attending and therefore the need to rethink their future. Sharing their strengths and future together is a brave way forward but gave us the challenge to develop a whole new perspective. A new way of looking at the things that they have in common which could lead to new and innovative ways of programming. That would need somebody to take the role of ‘moderator’ in a environment which would literal bridge the gap between the old and the new city. And that’s what we did. A new concept in a new building, signaling the importance of culture as the social glue of a society.
