Jaap Schoufour (1961)Executive of Bureau BroedplaatsenMunicipality of AmsterdamThe creative city of Amsterdam
- high concentration of arts and culture
- diverse population
- tolerant, connected to the world, excellent education system
- dynamics: influx and retreat- drawback of popularity: rising prices for space- danger: accessibility of the city under pressure: exclusion of new space-seekers- new space-seekers: young, promising artists Slide4
Aim of breeding grounds policyOffering new, affordable spaces to artistsIn particular young, talented artist looking for new spaces At least 10.000 m2 per year of new breeding grounds, including studiosIn combination with other policies: improving neighborhoods, creative industries, health care, sustainability

A “picture” of the care for the elderly in the Netherlands. Trends and policy
The new
elderly
/ the
old elderly/ ‘the’ elderly person does not existSeparation
of living – health care
People
longer
at home in
own
house
and
neighborhood
Decline of
amount of space in
nursing
and retirement homes Transformation of health care regulation: decentralisation to municipalities Transformation of health care fundingSlide8
Some statistics* 2.800.000 Dutch people are 65 or older
* 700.000 are 80 or
older
(in Amsterdam inhabitants older than 75 years old will
grow
from
40.000 to 62.000 in 2030)
* 129.000 Dutch
people
live in
nursing
and retirement homes
* There are approximately
2000 (large and small)
nursing
and retirement homes * About 350 homes will disappear because of changes in accessibility and finance/fundingSlide9
Impression of nursing homes
Reputation problem: ‘nobody wants’ + ignoring
the problems
(Health) care is not
a preference, it is a need; Living in nursing home: a ‘parallel universe’Vision of care corporations one-dimensional and
internally focused and tested
Little connection between nursing homes – neighborhood: narrow interpretation of the concept of neighborhood
Missing of a ‘vision’ on how care organizations can contribute to physical and mental well-being, the elderly, self-value, who you were and are
3 main problems for those seeking care
Loneliness, being bored
Unability
to go outside/exercise
Good foodSlide10
The idea: connecting the transformation of elderly care and the cultural breeding
grounds
policy
Why
? Spaces will become vacant/available
in
retirement
and
nursing
homes
Solves the three
problem areas (
loneliness
, no
exercise, food) Join the talent/ artisan expertise of youth and elderlySlide11
RESULT:Combine cultural breeding grounds with health care property(analogous to the high vacancy rates of offices).HOW?
Examining the public support through a
QuickScan
amongst elderly organisations in Amsterdam and amongst municipal artists’ commissions focusing on combining living and working spaceSlide12
From QuickScan 1: feasibilitySubstantive analysis of 60 current breeding grounds in Amsterdam regarding possible connections to elderly (care/nursing homes)
Studios, workshops, artists in residence (e.g.,
Transartists
, a non-profit organisation specializing in this area), exhibition space, sauna, concert hall, children’s theater, restaurant, kitchen and food, braai and barbecue, ICT creative starters, movies, dance, hobby areas, photography and darkroom, printing/screen-print, recording studio, fashion and master’s degree in tailoring, hair-dressing school, gardens, furniture makersSlide13
From QuickScan 2:No mobility and lack
of studio
space
(
for ‘young’ artists)and lack of living and working space for
elderly
people
in
need
of careSlide14
From Quickscan 3:Three substantive
aspects
to take up: Artists live and work (studios) in
relation
to
a
(
for
them) fitting
reciprocation with
the
eldery residents Old trades and other forms of industry and knowledge exchange with
residents
Offering
older
artists
fitting
alternative
living and
working
/
studio
spaceSlide15
Follow-up of the QuickScan Creating 2 pilots within the 5 health care
organizations
in Amsterdam
