So-called middlegrounds can connect these worlds and make their interests line up better. Certain sources imply and state that broedplaatsen can fulfill this position. However, there is little literature on how these dynamics are experienced by the artists in these broedplaatsen themselves. Consequently, this research will look into these dynamics in the context of the creative city Groningen. To answer this, a qualitative approach is taken, with mainly in-depth interviews with artists and an additional small policy document analysis of the creative policies of the municipality of Groningen to be able to present the creative city context in which these experienced and perceived dynamics take place. The results mainly include that there seems to be a substantial gap between the idea of what creativity can bring a society between artists and the municipality and the consequential facilitation of the municipality in this. As well as the manner of organisation matters in the broedplaats being a middleground or not. Future research suggestions include looking into networks in the networks of subsidized music talent coaches and sub-renting in broedplaatsen. date: 2024 type: Thesis type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: https://frw.studenttheses.ub.rug.nl/4537/1/BachelorsProject2024MichielMarkus.pdf identifier: Markus, Michiel (2024) Experience by artists in broedplaatsen Trav12 and de Biotoop of the creative city Groningen and its dynamics.
