Waschhaus Potsdam

The Waschhaus Potsdam is a cross-genre arts and culture venue. Since 1993, the Waschhaus has operated as a non-profit organisation, hosting events not only in the former garrison laundry but also in the Waschhaus Arena (formerly the Russenhalle), the Kunstraum Potsdam and the Oxymoron Dance Studio in the Studiohaus Schiffbauergasse. With its programme of music, film, dance and visual arts, the Waschhaus has established itself beyond the local region. More than 130,000 visitors a year come to the venue for events, concerts, literary evenings and exhibitions. In addition to internationally renowned artists, this multi-disciplinary venue aims to offer a platform particularly to young emerging talents and support them in their artistic development. Exciting art in a wide variety of styles is presented to the public through individual programme formats. In doing so, the Waschhaus sees itself as a discoverer and promoter of new talent and styles.
