Feeding the force is an essential component of the Ateliers. As part of the Culinary Atelier, you’ll be putting food on the table to keep yourself and the other participants on their feet, healthy and satisfied. Following all health and safety instructions and together with our chef, you’ll prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner with complimentary snacks and coffee breaks to keep spirits and caffeine levels high. To make sure everyone gets a seat and can enjoy your creations to the fullest, you'll set and arrange the table setting. And in case you were worried about the dishes, clearing the table and washing up is done by all participants. Are you an excellent home cook? Experience in the kitchen for this Atelier is a nice plus but not obligatory.

This atelier is spread across two timeframes:

The Mobile Furniture Atelier is a hands-on, one-week workshop during which participants will work alongside our guest design collective, helping to build modular and mobile furniture. These pieces will be versatile, durable, and adaptable, perfect for the various environments that shape the Horst ethos: the festival, the club, and the public space. You'll work with the design collective and our team daily, engaging in hands-on activities and creative collaboration. This Atelier offers the opportunity for extensive interpersonal collaboration, to gain practical experience, meet new people, and contribute to the transformation of Asiat Park, the experience of the Horst Club, and the Horst Arts and Music Festival.

While the natural charm of Asiat Park is already a wonder to behold, the scenography ateliers challenge the Park and its buildings' unconventional beauty. As a collaborator, you’ll join hands with our Architecture team, weaving art, functionality, and surprise into the very fabric of the multi-venue Horst Club. From crafting intimate hangout spots to adorning entrance and bar structures, each task is an opportunity to question the scenery that will shape the day and night of Horst. Apart from reinventing our spaces, you’ll also bring functional art to life, ensuring every room takes form according to its final function. Here, every detail contributes to an immersive club experience that is as enchanting as it is unforgettable.

Horst invited the Madrid-based design studio Burr to design a new intimate dancefloor, allowing them to implement their signature research on colourful industrial materials in the our home. Located in the rain room, the design functions as a multi-purpose scenography for club weekends and different interventions in Horst’s future. Together with you, we’ll bring their future-proof vision to life. During the atelier, you will be working closely with the designers to erect large curtain structures, adjust the room’s main attraction, which is the central pond, and make the mobile podia. A fresh coat of paint will finally highlight this new perspective on our beloved Rain Room, transforming it into a vibrant multifunctional space for night and day clubbing and performance. Woodworking skills can be of use during this atelier.
