Our mission

C-mine is a creative hotspot for artistic talent, clustered on a site with a unique heritage in industrial mining. Rooted in the past, C-mine’s aim is to help shape the future.

We achieve this by forging strong partnerships and entering into dialogue with actors from various artistic fields; by involving the wider community in a versatile environment, focused on study, research, design, innovation and reflection.

C-mine wants

  • to elevate artists, performers, entrepreneurs, students, ... above their own individual capabilities and ambitions;
  • to inspire the culturally interested, amateurs of heritage sites, students, children, visitors, tourists and locals alike, with new insights and experiences;
  • to invigorate the urban environment and the wider region by offering artistic and design-oriented innovation and creation.
