Casulo is an inclusive and community-based cultural association and space. Since September 2025, we have been promoting art, learning, and social interaction. We need support to cover essential costs and keep our doors open. Help us!

Help us keep Casulo's doors open.

Casulo is an association and an open, inclusive, and community-based cultural space, created to welcome people of all ages, backgrounds, and expressions. We believe that everyone deserves a place where they can learn, create, share, and simply be.

Since our opening in September 2025, we have been building a community through a weekly program that brings together art, learning, creativity, and socializing. We organize workshops, meetings, concerts, exhibitions, reading groups, board games, and many other activities that promote participation, diversity, and connection between people.

Our space is open every day of the week for activities. However, due to a lack of resources and membership, the café – an important source of income for the association – is currently only open during the following hours:

Thursday: 4pm–8pm

Friday: 11am–10pm (with vegan lunch for €5.50 from 12pm to 3pm)

Saturday: 7pm–10pm

Whenever the café is open, come by! You can have a coffee, explore the library, play board games, chat, work, or simply enjoy the space. We want Casulo to be a place where everyone feels welcome and at home.

Despite the community's enthusiasm and the volunteer work of many people, we are going through a difficult financial period. We need to cover essential expenses such as license renewals, insurance, rent, services, and other costs indispensable to the operation of the space. At the moment, we cannot afford these expenses solely with the revenue we generate.

That's why we're asking for your help!

Every contribution, regardless of the amount, helps us keep this space alive, accessible, and open to the community. Your support allows us to continue offering cultural, educational, and community activities, to host new projects, and to ensure that Casulo remains a meeting point for so many people.

If you are unable to contribute financially, you can also help by sharing this campaign with family, friends, and colleagues. Every share increases our chances of achieving our goal!

Thank you for believing in this project and for being part of this community. Together, we can ensure that Casulo remains open to everyone.
