Het Wijkpaleis

Het Wijkpaleis opens its doors for Groot Rotterdams Atelier Weekend 2026 (location 75 on the route map, Rotterdam West). Studios are open Sat 19 Sept and Sun 20 Sept, 12:00 to 18:00. Entry is free with a ticket reserved through GRAW; a voluntary contribution goes to the makers.

The Wijkpaleis is the place to make things. Making in the sense of “producing, creating, fabricating,” but also “making it in life.” Since 2019, the Wijkpaleis has been based on Claes de Vrieselaan. It has a “village hall” and a palace garden that provide space for meeting, as well as four public production spaces — from neighborhood kitchen to makerspace, from textile studio to woodworking shop — where people can create together. There are eighteen workshops for professional makers working in a wide range of disciplines (from illustrator to ceramicist, from punky designer to visual creator working with leather).
