With the Pop-Up Studio, we transform vacancies into a temporary work & project space for creative people from various disciplines. The space facilitates networking between people from different cultural and creative industries, which in turn creates new synergies. During its first three months, the Pop-Up Studio has already been used as a concert stage, lecture room, gallery, reading stage, showroom and catwalk. The withdrawal of industry from Dortmund is a great opportunity for the city to make good use of vacant spaces.
