Every Thursday: Vrijplaats Verre binding in Rozet

The creative sanctuary will take place in 2026 and you are cordially invited. Come and make together and meet Arnhemmers from near and far!

Join the Vrijplaats in Rozet from January 22 to March 26. We offer an open and inspiring space where creativity knows no bounds. Whether you’re an experienced creator or just curious to try something new, this is your place to experiment, express yourself, and meet others.

What you can expect:

Freedom to make your way, at your pace
Workshops and techniques from guest artists and professionals
Meet Arnhemmers from near and far – a diverse and welcoming community
All materials are provided – all you have to do is bring yourself!

Every meeting is slightly different. Creative guests regularly join us to share their techniques – from painting and illustration to collage, textiles and more. You can join a workshop, or just do your own thing in a cozy and shared environment.

The free space is a collaboration between Collectief Koppig, Ruimtekoers, and CONNECT Arnhem, with the aim of creating a place for creative expression, meeting and connection.

No sign-up required. Come along, get inspired, and create something that’s all your own.

We can’t wait to create with you. See you there!

Ruben Jurriën

Ruben Jurriën is a fashion designer who is committed to making the fashion industry more inclusive and fun. He has always been inspired by clothing and likes to experiment with it. This passion originated in his childhood. In his practice, he works a lot with Toetie, the cuddly toy that used to offer him a lot of support and safety as a child. Ruben will work with you to find your own superhero or image that gives you strength or safety.

Join the Artist

With the Join the Artist program, we invite an artist to come and work with Arnhemmers from here and far over a period of two months. The artist’s practice is the starting point of this artistic encounter. In this way, the maker takes the participants along in their fascination and making together is a way to meet each other, share stories and connect. The artist then translates this into an artistic end result: a final work in which the individual contributions of the participants become part of a larger whole. Part of the programming of:

Practical information

Ruben Jurriën is present every Tuesday from 20 January to 10 March from 15:00 to 17:00. And please note: until 10 February at azc Elderhoeve, from 17 February it is at Rozet. You don’t have to register, you can just walk in! Participation is free.

Zyanya Keizer

Fashion designer Zyanya Keizer dives into a fascination or theme in her practice for two months, and you can join in! Together with other Arnhemmers from afar (and here), you will explore stories, creative ideas and inspiration, and these are the inspiration for Zyanya’s research and design process. At the end of the process, you will present your creations to the city together.

About Artist in Residence

Art and fashion have a role as a universal language of encounter and connection, and provide an equal exchange. Participants create, learn and share their stories and thus become part of the creative process. At the same time, the maker deepens and expands his own practice, by further exploring existing questions and exploring new ideas.
