About Us.
STPLN (pronounced "stapeln") is a hub for the independent culture and creative scene in Malmö, and the surrounding region. We function as an intermediary and a facilitator for ideas and creative projects. Here you will find community, event spaces, and office spaces at the ready. We welcome all experience levels, backgrounds, and ages.
We support the growth and development of artists, creators, producers, and organizers; where artistic quality and integrity, exploration and interdisciplinary collaborations are highly valued.
STPLN is a platform and a community that strives to build relationships and conversations between practitioners in the independent cultural and creative field and the public and private sector, universities, and civil society.
In short, STPLN is:
An incubator for the independent cultural and creative fields.
An arena for creative freedom
An interdisciplinary meeting place
A clear, agile and transparent partner organization
A fast-track to the Swedish cultural scene

Co-produce with STPLN
Do you have an idea within the fields of art, crafts, or design that you need space for and want to realize at STPLN? We offer the possibility to co-produce your event at STPLN free of charge.
Here, you can get access to useful resources and support with the development of your idea. Our space can be used by independent producers, organisers, artists and other people with a clear, creative idea in need of a space. We like projects that are interdisciplinary (merging fields), original, exploratory, socially responsible and entrepreneurial. Please plan ahead.
Study Visits
As organizations we visit each other for inspiration and to develop our own operations, organizations, and work environments.
A study visit at STPLN is designed as a curated guide that we tailor together so that you get as much as possible out of it. Think more “study” than “visit”. A study visit includes a preparatory meeting, content designed for your purpose, and fika.
