UPCOMING
The Big End of the Year
Glitter & Sparkle Extravaganza

We want to thank all of you for your support over the past year. A lot has happened, and we feel we should celebrate our community together! Therefore, we’d like to invite all our Hubbers to join our Big End of the Year Ball at The Hub. On the 10th of December, you are very welcome to come and celebrate 2025 with us. During the night, there will be enough entertainment for you to keep you going.
The theme of the night will be a sparkling & glitter extravaganza. The best outfit will indeed win a prize ;).
We kindly ask you, if you want to come, to reserve a spot via the link below. We also ask you to bring someone to The Hub who would be happy to join our community, so we can spread the love and the knowledge and grow our network!

Fire it up
December 9th
Cultuur Academy X The Masonry X The Hub present: Fire it up!
We live in confusing times. Many people, maybe you too, are asking themselves questions about their work, their future and their value. What can you mean as a creator or organizer in the cultural field? How do you sustain yourself in a world that is constantly changing? What gives you energy, what keeps your fire burning? And just as important: how do you ignite others? Or better yet, how do you set the world on fire (in a good way, of course 😉 ).
These sessions are for all creators, organizers, and programmers in the cultural field who sometimes wonder if their work still has meaning. They're looking for ways to stay motivated and wondering how they can contribute to a more beautiful and livable world. Whether you're just starting out or have been involved for years, together we want to spark new energy and drive.

Past Events
What the Hub?!
Every first Wednesday of the month we host our regular program at The Hub. Topics range from open calls, connection with the region to the bumps in the road of building an art practice, we come across it all.
In addition to a substantive part, there is always room for conversation and the evening ends with an act or activity.
Meet me in the Hallway
In collaboration with Culture Making Artez, we present:
Meet me in the hallway
Every third Thursday of the month an ArtEZ alumnus from Art & Design will return to the academy where their artistic practices began. For one day they can use the school, create work and interact with students. The week after the residency an artist discussion will take place at The Hub. In this conversation, two alumni will talk about their work and the residency before handing over “the keys of the hallways of ArtEZ”.
How to ZZP
In our “How to ZZP” program we will try to tackle all the difficulties that come along with being a cultural entrepreneur. We talk about hourly rates, taxes, profiling, and many more!
