About C 3-studios

SKAR

SKAR (Stichting Kunst Accommodatie Rotterdam) supports the creative sector in Rotterdam by offering affordable workspace, creating meeting places, and fostering connections. It manages over 45 buildings. SKAR believes that the creative sector contributes significantly to Rotterdam's cultural, economic, and spatial planning environment.

SKAR leases the entire building from the Municipality of Rotterdam and manages the contracts and general finances.

For SKAR C 3-studios is a pilot project to investigate the possibility of self-management by the artists, offering them freedom through responsibility, and thus able to reduce the square meter price.

NAC

NAC (Stichting Nieuwe Ateliers Charlois) (2004) is a voluntary, independent, self-management organization in Charlois, founded by artists, and provides an artistic/cultural environment/living and working spaces for artists in and around their communities. It strives to achieve this in an appropriate way, both socially, economically, and artistically. It seeks collaboration, the added value of the collective, as a community, as a strength, within the context of a larger community. It seeks an economic model in which profit is not made from others, an equal way of interacting. It aims to develop art in society, offer a cultural platform to everyone who wants to express themselves, and facilitate this. It is 100% committed to this, seeking opportunities, possibilities, responsibility, form, implementation, fairness, diversity, freedom, openness, aftercare, and reality!

Since 2004, NAC has managed the vacant properties of various housing associations in Charlois. In 2010, it managed more than 100 homes with 200 artists from the Netherlands and abroad. Since then, several clusters, such as Wolphaertstraat, now the W1555 association, have been completely renovated and independently converted into sustainable social housing (2022 architecture award). The NAC Foundation consists of Tineke Teunen and Kamiel Verschuren.
