It opened to the public in 2013; the factory was initially a textile factory that had been vacant for years. A dozen or so artists build everything from scratch, transforming a vast, run-down space into an artists’ space.

There’s a great sense of freedom in Polymer; the desire to know and work with each other is the main reason to have a large communal area and regular open studio events. By working on different programs, Polymer encourages visitor participation, too.
