Het HEM is currently closed in preperation for renovations and will reopen in fall 2024.
In the meanwhile, you’ll find our programming on several off-site locations and on The Couch.
Our event spaces are available for rent until October 2023.
Art is our first language. Even while we are closed for renovations, our programming continues. You will find our art programmes at off-site locations throughout the year and on the digital platform The Couch. The permanent installations in Het HEM will remain open to the public after the renovation.
Our music programme focuses on experimental ways of making, presenting and experiencing sound in the building through listening sessions, live performances and musical artist-in-residence programmes. During renovations, we organise music programmes at off-site locations and on the digital platform The Couch.
We are closed at the moment. When we are open again you are welcome for a drink and a bite, wine and dine at our restaurant. With good wether we suggest you settle down on our sunny terrace on the Costa del Zaano.
Het HEM loves books. During your visit, come lose yourself in the library's rich selection or discover new favourites in the SANZ Shop.
The building's industrial design and our experimental art programme bring ambience and meaning to every event.
Situated in a former munitions factory, Het HEM is a new home for contemporary culture.
The two worlds of Het HEM and Horst are much alike. Both are located within an iconic, yet fraught context of a decommissioned military site, and both offer an ambitious mix of visual art and electronic music.
This connection offers ground for a long-term collaboration, with the indoor and outdoor party:‘New HHHorizons: Het HEM x Horst’ as a kick-off for the collaboration and to celebrate Music & Arts.
During this summer party, the two worlds of Het HEM and Horst are blurred, connected and explored together. Spread over two stages in the Zaanse bullet factory, there are a series of DJs and live acts who show the forefront of (experimental) electronic dance music. Both parties jointly invite an artist for an immersive art installation.
When these two worlds converge, we create a new point of connection and celebrate the emergence of a new horizon.
