Finding suitable spaces is often a real challenge for creative professionals. This is especially true for attractive locations in the city center, often occupied by retail hence unaffordable for creatives. At the same time, the coronavirus pandemic has dramatically increased the vacancy of urban retail spaces \u2013 including Hamburg.<\/p>\n

To counteract these problems, the Hamburg Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Culture and Media, together with the Hamburg Kreativ Gesellschaft and the Landesbetrieb Immobilienmanagement und Grundverm\u00f6gen (LIG), have developed the \u201cFree Space: Space for Creative Interim Use\u201d<\/a> funding program. In order to match creative professionals with landlords, Hamburg Kreativ Gesellschaft has launched a platform<\/a>, where landlords can create profiles of their vacant premises and creatives can submit their concepts.<\/p>\n

The goal is to enable cultural and creative interim uses of vacant retail spaces at very favorable conditions, thereby minimizing vacancy costs \u2013 from art exhibitions to pop-up stores. The program ensures that creatives only pay a monthly contribution of 1.50 euros per square meter for the space they use, regardless of location. All operating and ancillary costs are covered by the program, including deposits. Landlords seeking to avoid vacancies, prevent vandalism, and revitalize their property’s neighborhoods also benefit from the funding.<\/p>\n
