Atelier IJburg: A Sanctuary for Art, Inclusion, and Resistance

Nestled in the heart of Amsterdam's IJburg, our building began its life as a KPN server hub, ingeniously designed to cool machines using natural airflow. After years of abandonment, we reclaimed this space through an anti-squat initiative, transforming it into Atelier IJburg—a vibrant haven for art, culture, and counterculture.​

Today, Atelier IJburg thrives as a dynamic community where creativity and inclusivity intersect. We host exhibitions, performances, workshops, and collaborative projects that challenge norms and celebrate diversity. Our mission is to build a collective greater than the sum of its parts.​

However, our time here is limited. Plans are underway to redevelop the building into high-end properties, a reflection of the ongoing gentrification in IJburg. We aim to hold onto this space as long as possible, continuing to foster a community rooted in creativity and resistance.​

Join Our Movement: Support Our Crowdfunding Campaign

To sustain our activities and secure a permanent home for Atelier IJburg, we are launching a crowdfunding campaign. Your support will help us continue to nurture this unique space for artistic expression and community engagement.​

We invite you to be part of our journey—participate, create, donate, or collaborate in any way you see fit.
