Dear Stroomhuis lovers,
•
On Thursday morning October 17, Rosa and Rosalie were woken up by the fire, less than an hour after the last staff had left last night’s show. We are so grateful that nobody got hurt, all of the residents (including the cat) are mostly just shocked. Our hearts are broken to see every piece of creativity and community that we poured into this place over the last 25 years, turned into ashes.
•
Many of our group have been severely impacted in their livelihood and housing. Literally decades worth of creative work are gone. Some of us lost everything we have made over the last 5, 10, and even 35 years. In addition, there are countless instruments and equipment used by musicians and artists from all over the city, which are stored in the Stroomhuis. Stroomhuis has been the heart of our community for so many people in Eindhoven and far beyond.
•
We don’t know what the cause of the fire is, and we won’t be making any statements about it. Thank you for all the expressions of support and kind messages, they mean a lot to us ❤️. Thanks to these messages, we have even more reason to figure out how to move forward, because we must keep going!
•
For now, we will keep this statement brief, as we are still processing what has happened. This GoFundMe is a starting point, and we will keep you posted.

Many people who love Stroomhuis are offering their help in the form of fundraisers, pizza baking, volunteering and lots of other initiatives. We are making an overview of all non-financial needs we have, so we can match people. If you want to offer your help, please find our email in our bio.
