About the OT301
The OT301 is a legalised squat. A multimedia cultural centre encompassing a mix of non-commercial, (sub)cultural, artistic and activist projects and people. OT301 is owned and
run by a collective called EHBK (Eerste Hulp Bij Kunst). All renters are members of the collective and must have an interest in playing an active part. Amongst other things, this means participating in regular meetings and taking responsibility for various tasks.

About the available spaces

Ventilatiekamer (aka cinema bar)
Space: 59m2, on the 2nd floor, with view to the Vondelpark. It has a bar, small stage and lots of daylight.
Suitable for: meeting, workshop, discussion, presentation and other small scale projects.
This space is close to neighbors in the Kattenlaan, not insulatated and therefor NOT suitable for producing/playing loud noise.

Cinema + Projection Room/Office
Space: 97m2 (2 spaces), on 2nd floor next to Ventilatiekamer
Suitable for collectives, schools, independent artists with an interest in visual / multimedia / film / cinema / education / lectures / presentations, etc. Daytime activities
work best because of noise from evening programmes in other spaces but besides daytime programming the spaces can be used 2 evenings per week to screen films. Programming needs to be coordinated with other public spaces in the building (Studios, Peper, 4bid gallery).

Noise
As well as making sure not to bother our neighbors with loud noise it is important to realize that the spaces are in a building with other spaces that generate sound (rehearsal spaces on the 3rd floor, concert space on the ground floor, etc.). You will need to be able to work with that.

Costs
The rent cost is in the region of €1750,00 per month, including electricity/water/gas.
