Founded in 2004, PROEKT_FABRIKA is the first independent not-for-profit contemporary visual art organisation in Moscow. Our project has more than 700 square metre of exhibition spaces, an international residency and 1000 square metres of venue space destined to accommodate diverse cultural and social events such as dance, theatre and music concerts. Originally designed to present a program of collective exhibitions, the project is now committed to promoting cultural and intellectual diversity through the presentation of international contemporary art and culture. In 2008 our centre became a member of Trans Europe Halls ( European network of independent culture centers). PROEKT_FABRIKA's focus is: visual arts, contemporary theatre and dance, media. PROEKT_FABRIKA's mission is: challenging familiar ideas and concepts in order to formally defamiliarise them so that they can be seen anew. Our programs are devoted towards inspiring thought and creativity whilst simultaneously stimulating public curiosity about contemporary art, thereby contributing towards developing the cultural identity of 21st Century Moscow
