Chur city center becomes a cultural center
Chur has too few rehearsal rooms for artists and no cultural center. The city council has now drawn up a target vision for cultural spaces. The centrepiece is a decentrally organized but centrally managed cultural center.
According to the city's official communication, it has been known for some time that there is a lack of culturally usable spaces in Chur. The lack of a cultural center, for example, was already criticized in a corresponding petition in 2010. In-depth analyses revealed a glaring lack of rehearsal rooms for theater, dance, music, visual arts and literature in particular.
At the heart of the target vision for cultural spaces is a cultural center that is organized decentrally across the city centre but managed centrally. This is to take place in an independently managed cultural office attached to the Postremise. As far as possible, the existing cultural spaces scattered throughout the city center will be integrated into this concept if they can be rented.
In addition, there is a lack of rehearsal rooms for theater, music and dance as well as studios and band rooms. The target image makes suggestions as to how these shortcomings can be remedied. The Theater Chur, the Sennhof, the Haus zum Arcas and the Kulturhaus am Bienenweg all play a role here.
