how LOOS supports artists

LOOS supports artists and groups of artists in the following ways with:

  • providing facilities for free

  • artistic residencies for free, for instance iii (2013-2015 with Matteo Marangoni), Azimuth, Crab, Zwerm, RCC - Research Concert Cycle, Rewire festival, TodaysArt festival, Royal Improvisers Orchestra, 2010-2011 Den Haag Allstars Ensemble with Jeremiah Runnels)

  • small or bigger jobs (until 2020/October LOOS has never worked with volunteers)

  • very cheap artistic residencies (30 hours for €100 euros ex 21%btw for the studio, the grand piano, 4.2 high end sound system, a projector, monitors)(for instance iii and many others)

  • reducing the so-called commercial rent prices of the Studio and or technical facilities (f.i. Kluster5, Modelo62, Grondwater festival)

  • providing a small or bigger budget (for artists costs or PR) + facilities to start or continue a small concertseries or workshops (for instant Marie Guilleray/Ephemere, Yolanda Uriz/Wonderwerp, iii/wonderwerp, Azimuth/qb series, Free Fall/improvisation series)

  • PR budgets (Crab, Zwerm, Free Fall)

In 2017 - 2020 the condition for the 4-year structural subsidy from the City of The Hague for LOOS was cultural entrepreneurship.
