ArtA, previously known as The Arts Cluster, is part of a larger redevelopment project in Arnhem that aims to reconnect Arnhem city with its waterfront.
In addition, the cultural facility will bring together creative professionals, entrepreneurs, artists and visitors locally and regionally by housing the Museum Arnhem and the Focus Film Theater.
BIG said it proposed two programmes to be merged with a public Art Plaza to make the cultural hub a vibrant public building for art, public life, education and recreation.
