Your future team

ZIMIHC is a small team that does big things. We offer amateur artists, young creators, and performers a stage to perform on and a space to rehearse. But it doesn’t stop there. We also provide advice, connect individuals and groups of artists, share knowledge, and support anyone who wants to create, program, or experience art. In addition to the three theaters in the Overvecht, Wittevrouwen, and Zuilen neighborhoods, ZIMIHC also has a Custom Projects division, through which we organize national and international events and projects to strengthen and grow Utrecht’s amateur arts scene. The beauty of being part of ZIMIHC is that, thanks to you, our artists can shine. You support amateur artists by providing them with what they need. In doing so, you feel every day that you are making an important contribution to the cultural sector in the province of Utrecht.

ZIMIHC draws inspiration and ideas from all cultures and backgrounds, and we’re always looking for more. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to share yours with us.
