What is it?
MIGA/Microgallery is a pilot project that makes it possible to test how to create a high-quality, audience-engaging (international) art programme within a small space. The gallery’s initiators provide overviews of the entire process, highlighting what works in practice and what may still require further consideration and development.

Why?
MIGA's aim is to use as few resources as possible for maintaining the building, so that the funds available for the art programme can remain to the artists and the people who run the gallery.Get involved!

" The gallery's construction will be based on three fundamental principles. "
Living
The building must support living and working all year-round. It must provide a space for office work, and additionally allow for presentation of exhibitions intended for the public.

Garden & street gallery
To maximize the potential of its modest footprint, a micro-garden is planned for the rooftop, and a street gallery could be created on the building’s exterior wall.

Self-sufficiency
The aim is to build a live-in gallery that thrives on minimal maintenance, ensuring that every resource goes directly to the artists and the people who run the gallery.
