Treehouse NDSM is an arts incubator on the site of the former NDSM shipyard, on the bank of the IJ River in Amsterdam-North. Treehouse offers more than 100 studios, an exhibition- and performance hall, a work hall, common meeting spaces, a courtyard, and terrace. The complex is a small village built over two floors using recycled sea containers and construction cabins. Apart from renting out studio spaces for creatives in all disciplines, we also organise exhibitions, festivals, concerts, art markets, and more.

Treehouse wants to grow into a high-profile hub for cultural experimentation and innovation. We are looking for makers who want to explore the boundaries of art, and an equally passionate audience.
