EMMA-Kreativzentrum Pforzheim
The EMMA Creative Center, the central platform for creative professionals from Pforzheim and the region, is located on the banks of the River Enz and in the immediate vicinity of Design PF. On an area of 3,000 m², students, start-ups, agencies and young companies have access to workshop and coworking workstations, offices and studios in a former swimming pool. The current tenants range from jewelry and fashion designers to graphic designers, filmmakers, photographers, web programmers and visual artists. The event area on the first floor offers space for exhibitions, conferences and workshops. Regular events such as the monthly "Creative After Work" network meeting, the "Schöne Bescherung" x-mas design market and the summer festival make the creative center a lively place for the creative industry and the citizens of Pforzheim. The design students use the premises as an exhibition space during the Werkschau.
