OAZO

Open Ateliers Zuidoost For years now, Open Ateliers Zuid-Oost (OAZO) has been working on providing affordable work space for artists within the cultural spectrum in the Bijlmer. After years of temporary space in flats and like Klieverink, Kouwenoord, Koningshoef and Groeneveen, OAZO has made at least 2.200 m2 of permanent workshop space available for use by artists in the lower levels of the honeycomb shaped flats Echtenstein and Kruitberg since 2005. This anchoring offers space for 60 artists to develop their artistic practices in the area. This makes OAZO the generator of a high concentration of creative activity in the “E- and K-buurt” (E- and K-zone of the neighbourhood). OAZO also organises events like the OAZO Artist in Residence and the OPEN ART ROUTE. These work spaces are realised in cooperation with housing association Rochdale and the local council, and is subsidised by the city of Amsterdam, Bureau Broedplaatsen Amsterdam, and the European Union.
