You want to take the first steps into Bolzano’s culture? Here the answers to your questions to start working and experimenting!

There are several places that rent a rehearsal room for a fee, such as:

Non ho trovato nulla 🙁

If you need a stage or a place where to perform, there are several places where you can propose yourself. On the other hand if you want to send an application to a music festival we recommend you the Indiependence Festival, Art May Sound e Upload!

If you need low-cost equipment (such as speakers and mixers, microphones and other musical stuff) you can ask to the following associations:

So you want to have a party without making noise, huh? Why? Bolzano loves the nightlife. Or maybe not? Ok, you can rent them from:

If you need a place to make your art, there are several places to ask. Try contacting these: • Südtiroler Künstlerbun
DRIN
Lungomare
BITZ unibz fablab

Both physical tools and support for creative people. These are the entities that can help you out with your ideas or if you need like a hammer or a 3D printer or laser cutting, here you go…

There are several entities offering art calls. Some even support you with a little money. Among them surely Weigh Station, Bando Generazioni and Strike. However, take a look at Stiftung Fondazione Sparkasse because they also give some money if they really like your project. You can also pitch your project to the Province and the Cultural Department, but you have to apply for a funding with a different procedure.

You want to exhibit your work? You can ask for a shelter to different local entities. In DrinBZ we always look forward to exhibit the art of young artists. However, there are also other places that we recommend, such as:

Fondazione Antonio Dalle Nogare

Bolzano Art Weeks

If you need a space to organise a workshop, you can always ask in DrinBZ. But we don’t want to only feather our own nest, so try asking the following entities as well. The Weigh Station organises loads of them, but also contact the TreviLab or CoolTour. They will surely be able to help you. Also the PIPPO.Food.Chill.Stage has organised some workshops!

Provincial and municipal offices can support you, but they have no spaces to offer.

Ahhh, you want to organise some stuff like a tournament or a sporting event or similar? Provincial and municipal offices can help you out. If you are a student contact SCUB!

You have a class but you lack the gym? Try with the Fondazione UPAD. If you want to make a small association instead, you can count on SSV Bozen.

It may seem like slamming, but both handle much of the bureaucracy.

Fondazione UPAD
Uisp Bolzano

Are you a student? SCUB organises sports classes.

You just started working? Have a look at Fondazione UPAD, USSA, UISP

Which sport? Tough question, we try to update the answer to this question. Meanwhile have a look here:

If you are not an expert and you want to start a theatre class, you can ask them. Surely there is someone else who also offers theatre courses, so we’ll update this answer as soon as possible.

There are several theatre collectives, we will try to update them as we go along. In the meantime, we recommend the following:

These are not calls, but those who organise them. You can try to propose your shorts/movies to Bando Generazioni, but also WS Call. If you want to do it in a very short time there is BZ48h from Cooperativa 19! • Cooperativa 19
Young Inside
Stiftung Fondazione Sparkasse
Strike

If you need a room to rehearse, you can try to get in touch with them. They tend not to be free, but they should not cost too much either. If you join BeYoung, however, the Saletta becomes free!

More or less the answer is similar to the film calls. Try Weigh Station’s WS Call, the Generazioni call or FUTURA. Alternatively, click below. • FuturaFest

If you need to organise a small screening, you can always ask in DrinBZ. Alternatively there are nicer and bigger places where you can ask. Try contacting these below.

If you need a funding contribution, you can ask the Cultural Office of the Province or the City Council.

If you want to try your luck with a call just to get started, try the Bando Generazioni of Young Inside, the WS Call of Weigh Station, telling your story with the call of Strike or directly contact the associations/entities here below!

If you are here and haven’t understood yet that you can come to DRIN in Corso Italia, 34, there is a problem. If you dislike us you can go to the various libraries in the city or unibz (but it closes often). If you need a coworking you can go to Startbase, but it is fee-based. Otherwise the NOI.Techpark has also a coworking/studio area.

Here are some entities that will definitely help you figure it out if you have VAT. Weigh Station organises always trainings on this topic. Have a look!

You like the mountains, huh? You don’t want to go there alone, don’t you? Try signing up for the C.A.I. that organise a lot of excursions. If you like to experience the mountains in a special way, on the other hand, BeYoung always organises trips that are different from the usual!

It would be easier to tell you which one you can’t volunteer in. It depends on what you want to do. If you want to volunteer with very young people, you can try laic scouting C.N.G.E.I. or A.G.E.S.C.I. the catholic one, or VKE. Alternatively, youth centers are always looking for operators! The other proposals are more cultural. Have a look! • CIPRA

We don’t want to put store pages on this site, but take a look at these Bolzano entities and collectives:

Guardiani della Volta
BeYoung
BeNerd

Want a nerd festival in Bolzano? Check out Game Ground or Festival dei Sogni e del Fumetto.

There are different collectives that organise events, such as The Nherd o Dung.

Want to find out who organises Nerd events? Check the profiles of BeYoung, CoolTour e Bunker H. 

Even at DrinBZ we organise nerd events from time to time.

Every Wednesday night a group of friends get together to nerd hard at DrinBZ, but also BeYoung has spaces to nerd with your friends in their magical “La Saletta.”

If you are looking for less private places, check out Time Twister Games o La Fenice. They always organise events and have spaces to play.
