Stichting Klein Haarlem is a catalyst for creative and cultural dynamics, organizes cultural and creative events and creates vibrant incubators with (flex) workspaces for creative and social entrepreneurs. Stichting Klein Haarlem aims to form the creative link between arts and everyday culture in Haarlem and thereby create more freedom for the non-identical. It seeks to achieve this objective by organizing cultural and creative events/projects and creating a physical (work)space in Haarlem, through cultural entrepreneurship, where visual arts, music, theater and creative experiments from both individual makers and existing cultural institutions are connected with everyday culture, including behaviors in public space, traditions and leisure activities.
