Kunstraum is located in a residential area so we have strict curfew hours (Monday-Thursay 10pm; Friday-Saturday 11pm; Sunday 8pm) and we ask event organisers to make sure their guests vacate the surrounding area after this time to prevent disturbance to our neighbours. For film and photo shoots you can continue working until midnight.
In order to ensure Kunstraum is a safe space for the public, for all events we ask that hosts have a designated person in charge of the the door and a plan in place to deal with any security situations in case they arise.
Community Contract:
We ask everyone who uses Kunstraum to agree to our community contract which holds that: To join Kunstraum’s community you must respect all of its members; this community rejects all forms of discrimination, including racism, sexism/ misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and discrimination of class, religion, belief or age.

Yes, the venue has a PA system built into the space.
No, a site manager would not be present throughout. The venue team is normally present at the start to help set everything up; having someone present throughout would incur an additional fee.
Yes, the studio can be blacked out with covers on the skylights and curtains over the windows. It is not pitch black because there are small gaps at the top of the curtains, but it is close enough to create a black box for film shoots.
No, the venue does not have air conditioning, but it does have large floor fans.
Yes, a projector screen can be provided as an additional hire item.
