Marketing & Programming Intern

Cinetol is a music venue, creative hub, and café. We organize around 250 concerts a year. Our stage hosts innovative bands and emerging artists. It is a place for new and alternative sounds, both local and international. Cinetol provides space for experimentation, niche music, and the many communities that make Amsterdam what it is.

‍

The rest of the building consists of various creative spaces that we rent out to cultural entrepreneurs, artists, and musicians. The face of our building is the Tolbar, a cozy living-room-style café with a large terrace on the Tolstraat.
