We see ourselves as a laboratory for experimental, interdisciplinary art projects that consider and incorporate the special features of the building and its surroundings - a creative quarter with studios and workshops. Artists are invited to develop new formats, work across disciplines and use the space as an open stage for artistic research.

Schopf 2 actively networks with other venues, artists and communities - both locally and internationally. We are constantly integrating new artists into our projects and creating resonance spaces for global cultures: with readings, discussions, performances and participatory formats that address social issues and provide creative impetus.
