11. The Back Loft is a spacious and light filled open-plan
loft located at the back of La Catedral Studios. This
inspired space functions as an informal artists'
playground, available for art-related projects, e.g. art
exhibitions, live art events, salons, theatrical
performances, rehearsals and drama workshops, dance, life
drawing, photo-shoots, film locations, video projections
etc.
Since its establishment in 2005, the Back Loft has played
host to a great array of events independently curated by
individuals and collectives.
22. Artwave’s future goals:
Art Wave's main aim is to promote every kind of art and
every artist - new and already established. In its events
it's going to focus on showing the diversity of art and
its creators as well as showing that completely different
art media can strongly complement each other.
In order to do so, Art Wave wants to run many events, like
exhibitions, workshops, concerts and festivals, some of
which may happen on an annual basis. We want to organise
group and solo events and also support emerging and
cooperate with established collectives. We want to be an
open forum, where people can discuss new trends, share
ideas, gain experience and promote themselves and their
works. Finally we want to promote and show that all media
have their power.
