W139 is a leading production and presentation space for contemporary art in the centre of Amsterdam that has been paving the way for experimentation and new modes of autonomy, self-organisation, and collectivity within the arts for 44 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since its founding in 1979\u2014when the monumental building was squatted by a collective of artists\u2014W139 has remained embedded in an engaged and intergenerational community of makers. As an artist-driven organisation, W139 puts experimentation at the forefront\u2014providing space for artists to take risks and realise experimental, urgent, and ambitious projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a platform for dialogue and encounter, W139 supports artistic dissent and facilitates radical imagination and solidarity. Situated in an increasingly gentrified area, W139 offers a rare yet accessible stage for experimental contemporary art in the city centre of Amsterdam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As an incubator for the arts, W139\u2019s programme responds to contemporary issues while simultaneously being anchored in a rich cultural history. Our programming includes large-scale exhibitions and public events\u2014initiated and organised in collaboration with a diverse group of makers\u2014as well as projects selected via open calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
