La Station Gare des Mines temporary closure and fundraising

La Station Gare des Mines temporary closure and fundraising was announced with a planned closure beginning in November 2026 and a scheduled duration of three years for renovation works. The temporary closure is presented as part of the rehabilitation of the Porte d’Aubervilliers district and forms a phase of the broader district redevelopment project. The redevelopment aims to create a brand new Station at the heart of the district following completion of the works.

Opened in 2016, La Station — Gare des Mines has operated for ten years under the MU collective. To sustain activities during the renovation period, a call for donations has been launched and organisers are considering implementing support pricing for some events. The venue’s economic model relies approximately 85% on its own revenues and 15% on subsidies, and organisers state the objective of maintaining artistic standards and support for emerging talent while the works are underway.

La Station — Gare des Mines is set to temporarily close in November 2026 for a period of three years to undergo significant renovations. This closure marks a key aspect of the larger rehabilitation effort within the Porte d’Aubervilliers neighborhood. The redevelopment plan aims to establish a completely new Station, reflecting an urban renewal vision for the district.

Since its opening in 2016, La Station — Gare des Mines has been a notable venue operated by the MU collective. The venue has built its operations primarily on its own revenue streams, which make up 85% of its economic model, with the remaining 15% supplemented by subsidies. This financial structure is heavily reliant on income from ticket sales and bar operations, emphasizing the importance of community support during the closure.

In preparation for the temporary shutdown, a fundraising campaign has been introduced to support ongoing artistic initiatives. During the closure, organizers are exploring alternative pricing models for events to ensure financial viability and maintain their commitment to artistic quality and nurturing emerging talent. This initiative reflects a strategic approach to overcoming potential operational challenges during the renovation phase while continuing to serve the cultural community.

City of Paris: “After ten years of a relentless race amid precarious leases renewed year after year, the City of Paris has chosen to dedicate a place to La Station within the district redevelopment project.”

MU Collective: “This permanence sounds like the culmination of our efforts, but it comes at a price: a nearly 3-year pause for works starting November 2026, the time for a new city to emerge with, at its heart, a brand new Station.”

“The three years is a long time for a structure whose economic model (with only 15% subsidies) relies 85% on its own revenues, mainly ticket sales and the bar, while maintaining artistic standards and support for emerging talent. This balance, already tight in normal times, will be severely tested by these works.”

A call for donations has been launched to support La Station — Gare des Mines during the three-year renovation period. The renovation period is scheduled to last three years while the venue is temporarily closed for works. The closure and renovation are part of the rehabilitation of the Porte d’Aubervilliers neighborhood.

Organisers have stated that they are considering implementing support pricing for some events during the renovation period. The venue’s economic model relies 85% on its own revenues and 15% on subsidies. Those own revenues are described as coming mainly from ticket sales and the bar.
