Moshpit of Creation (Stichting MOC) is a non-profit organisation which functions as a creative studio and artistic collective. MOC was founded in 2019 and is located in the south-east of Groningen, The Netherlands.
Our mission is to support artists in their professional practice by supplying a platform that adapts to their needs through applying our three core principles: production, presentation and research. We encourage artists to freely interact with each other and their practices, to seek collaboration, and to exchange knowledge on their respective areas of expertise. We aim to stimulate the diversification of methods, adaptability of artistic practice, and interdisciplinary cooperation to strengthen each other’s positions as creative professionals.
We currently provide studio spaces between 14m2 and 25m2, a 138m2 steel workshop, 100m2 wood workshop, 30m2 music rehearsal space, 30m2 printworkshop, a 70m2 project space and we have two small Klins which can be fired up on request. Each member is required to member pays €165, ex tax per month to have full access. We work on a volunteer basis and everyone must partipate in the up keep and development of the space.
Since 2019 we have grown to occupy 5 locations and intend to expand. We understand the importance of having a home for your practice, and we aim to keep providing this for the coming years and support more creatives settled in Groningen, new and old.
