The Garage Amsterdam was created in 2004 by Mark Chalmers from a passion for art, and as a creative director he runs the international studio Chalming Co working with art and artists to build global brands through culture. Brands such as Nike, Dior, Google and Patagonia.

Fascinated by the power of grassroots networks, Chalmers started The Garage Amsterdam as a place where artists could stay while in Amsterdam, create and exhibit work and connect with others.

Built in 1631 and now a UNESCO World Heritage site the space has born witness from Calvinism through Rembrandt, and as a former brewery, fire station, church and squat, continues its cultural theme embracing artists to work with museums, causes and contemporary shows.
