The Cooperation ‘Het Domijn’ U.A. is populated by about forty members, all of whom work in a creative field. Visual arts, photography, visual communication, theater, literature, set design, furniture design and execution, metalwork, architecture, music, etc.,
In short: autonomous arts, applied arts, performing arts and those that support these varied disciplines.
There was a beautiful piece in Het Parool on the 10th of February, in which Sara Luijters sketches a portrait of Het Domijn. A number of members, those who were present at the start of it all and fresh new faces, explain why Het Domijn is such a special place.

Cooperation Het Domijn is making a guest studio available in the former boiler house.
The buildings were built in 1917 to serve as a locomotive factory; during the 1930 crisis, the bankrupt factory is taken over by the ministry of defence; in WWII it was annexed by the Luftwaffe due to its strategic location; It then serves, among other things, as storage for drop-off tanks of the Lockheed Starfighters;
At the end of 1989, the complex was annexed again, this time by squatters. They became leaseholders from the government after fighting for preservation, for they did not want the land to fall into the hands of pawnbrokers, nor become one themselves. Ultimately they become, organised in an artists’ and crafts cooperation, the keepers and guardians of het Domijn.
