About RAUM
At RAUM, a cultural gathering place on Berlijnplein in Leidsche Rijn (Utrecht), you can experience just how enjoyable it is when we design public spaces in a slightly different and more creative way. Throughout the year, we organize activities and (art) installations to foster casual encounters between different people. In doing so, both on our own square and beyond, we highlight the need for connecting public spaces and provide creators and residents with tools to get started on their own. This is how we create space for everyone.
Our team consists of about 15 people from a variety of backgrounds. We believe it’s important for people to enjoy working with us and to have opportunities for growth. Would you like to join this close-knit, ambitious, and bold group? We’d love to hear from you.
