about pos

possibilities open studio (pos) (no caps).

mission

pos is a non-profit foundation and community-driven space operated by a team of volunteers.

through music, art and technology projects, pos offers accessible opportunities for diverse creators, contributing to an equitable cultural sector. pos is guided by the values of sound system culture, diy-methods, and open-source knowledge sharing.

we operate through an ever-evolving project structure that supports creatives and enthusiasts in organising themselves, and each project follows a transparent shared-profit model. together, these approaches contribute to a healthier cultural sector.

location

pos is located in the centrale markthal in amsterdam-west. this monumental building once played a key role in the city’s food distribution.

today, alongside many other initiatives in the markthal, we contribute to sharing space with the people of amsterdam-west and its surrounding neighbourhoods.

space

possibilities open studio is a community-run space. here, people are encouraged to learn from each other and pursue their dreams.

 “make yourself at home!”
at pos, artistic learning takes many forms - making, listening, researching, voicing, questioning, and collaborating. the space encourages experimental engagements in an intimate setting.

events

pos facilitates the tools for a variety of disciplines, which translate into musical gatherings, workshops, exhibitions, pop-up restaurants, radio-making, dj & production sessions, no limitations!

the studio is a place for shared learning and unlearning experiences.

we invite all to participate in these collaborative art initiatives.
