Meeting Spaces

When not in use for cultural programming, Tou’s spaces are available for private events, ensuring a sustainable and modern business model. However, Tou is a non-profit, and all revenue is reinvested into creating more high-quality cultural experiences for the city’s residents. Learn more about our spaces here.

In addition to producing and presenting art, Tou strives to create open meeting spaces for both artists and the public. Their food and drink venues are integral to this vision, complementing the cultural activities:
