Due to the new construction projects of the De Paal business park in Haven, the artists will have to leave the studio in the Dateq building at the end of this year. The building will be demolished next January for the construction of new homes.

The artists themselves were already looking for another workspace, but without financial support it is difficult. Because the chance of having new affordable housing is not great at the moment, they have asked the municipality for help.
