Usva offers various courses and events for everyone, but students are our core target group. Our goal is to introduce students to art and culture in an accesible way, both during and alongside their studies, and to help them develop their skills in this field.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The building of Usva is located in the heart of Groningen's city centre at Munnekeholm 10. Usva houses a theatre and a cafe, where most events are organized. Additionally, there are various spaces, such as an atelier, dance studios,and other rooms where courses are taught in a wide range of art disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usva consists of a core group of professionals and an ever-changing group of student programmers. Together, they curate the program in the theatre: from collaborations with SPOT Groningen to performances by the Groninger Studenten Toneel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usva is also a platform where students can debate and discuss the everchanging world openly, freely, and from various perspectives. Usva is a place where students can meet each other, where they are in control, and where their personal growth - under the guidance of professionals - is stimulated. A place where students can discover their voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"790\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usva.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/oud-Usva-790x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.usva.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/oud-Usva-790x1024.webp 790w, https:\/\/www.usva.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/oud-Usva-231x300.webp 231w, https:\/\/www.usva.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/oud-Usva-768x996.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.usva.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/oud-Usva-1185x1536.webp 1185w, https:\/\/www.usva.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/oud-Usva-1580x2048.webp 1580w, https:\/\/www.usva.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/oud-Usva-9x12.webp 9w, https:\/\/www.usva.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/oud-Usva-scaled.webp 1975w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Usva as The Groninger Bank in 1929: by Petrus Bernardus Kamper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usva.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_7314-768x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3281\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.7500075508169984\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.usva.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_7314-768x1024.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.usva.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_7314-225x300.webp 225w, https:\/\/www.usva.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_7314-1152x1536.webp 1152w, https:\/\/www.usva.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_7314-1536x2048.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.usva.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_7314-9x12.webp 9w, https:\/\/www.usva.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_7314-scaled.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Usva as Cultural Student Centre in 2026.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Usva is &#8211; sinds 1969 &#8211; &nbsp;h\u00e9t cultuurcentrum en podium van de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen.
