Go to CREA theatre rental or CREA music hall rental, read our terms and conditions (!) and only then request a quote.

Go to CREA studios rental, read our terms and conditions (!) and apply for an account. After you put balance on this account (see top up balance), you can request studio rental by phone up to 3 months in advance. For longer-term projects or other special requests, please contact planning@crea.nl.

No, that is not allowed. Organising classes is reserved for CREA only. Renting studios is for rehearsals of performing arts only. Renting for meetings or giving or hosting workshops, lessons, courses, etc. is not allowed.

In the evening, our studios are often occupied for our own courses. Availability is highest on weekdays before 16:00, on Fridays and at weekends.

The price is listed in the information of the respective studio. For a large studio, for example, the regular rate is €20 per hour. Students get a discount and pay only €6. More information on this can be found at our price categories.

You can reserve a studio if you have a personal account. You can have this account created by contacting the CREA desk during opening hours at 020-5251414 (+3120-5251414 for international numbers).

For a reservation, you pay directly. Reservations can only be made if you have sufficient credit on your personal account. Here you can read how to add credit to your account.

The amount you top up is a credit that is untaxed. If you need an invoice with VAT, you can request one after the rental period (1x per quarter) via planning@crea.nl.

After completion of the rental, you may request a VAT invoice via planning@crea.nl. CREA sends a summary invoice of bookings incl. VAT for the client a maximum of once per quarter. This allows us to keep the rental costs of our studios low.

We can therefore not send VAT invoices on money that has been topped up (as that is still your money) nor for bookings in the future, as you can still cancel them.

Go to conditions & house rules studio rental for more information on cancelling a rented space.

Registration can be done at the counter or online via our website. To do so, go to the relevant course, choose your desired start date and click on “register”. Then follow the on-screen steps or complete the payment. You will always receive a confirmation by e-mail. If you do not receive it, please check your spam before contacting planning@crea.nl. Registration for CREA courses is open to anyone aged 18 and over.

You can find the course duration in the description of said course on our website. This is usually 10 weeks (one lesson per week). There are also weekend courses, day courses and summer courses.

Unfortunately, we do not offer trial lessons. However, it is understandable that you would like to know what the course entails before you sign up. To get a good impression, you can admire the work of previous students at our Virtual Open House Made in CREA. The final presentations of the courses at the end of each course block are also open to everyone.

For more information, check our price categories.

CREA offers courses in Dutch (NL), in English (EN) and courses open to anyone (NL/EN). Please keep in mind that within courses in the last category the teacher might use both languages to make sure everyone can keep up. Carefully check to which category your course belongs before enrolling (there’s a flag in every course information block).

Please inform us by calling or sending an email to planning@crea.nl.

Cancellations can be sent by e-mail to planning@crea.nl. Only if you cancel in writing up to 2 weeks before the course starts will you receive a full refund of the course fee. For more information, see our basic terms & conditions.

CREA regularly works with professionals. If you think that could be a good addition to our current offer, send an email to creativeproducer@crea.nl. Please note that the programme is planned on a yearly basis.
