Perron West

Perron West is a community space in Utrecht’s Westplein area, centred on an old train carriage. The carriage stands a short walk from Utrecht Central Station. It brings neighbours, artists, entrepreneurs, and visitors together for meetings, workshops, cultural events, and shared creative activity. Adjustable tables support both reserved compartments and flexible workplace use.

The programme includes outdoor exhibitions, art markets, public art projects, and collaborations with The Creative Playground and Lucrative Dumpster Dives. Artists and local residents help shape works displayed outdoors. A residency programme supports interactive public works, workshops, and sustainable creative methods. The site becomes an open-air gallery for performances and installations.

Its interactive sculpture garden changes as inhabitants and passers-by add their own contributions over time. Music lessons also form part of the programme here. Berta García Sanz teaches cello through practical lessons combining yoga, chamber music, and orchestra audition preparation. Students are encouraged to make music from their first day of learning.
