Farmstudio, a space for authentic culture
Farmstudio has been established in 2014 by Pavel Matela and runs with a support of the Farmstudio association, which has been founded in 2018. The venue is undergoing gradual reconstruction, with no public-funds subsidies. Independent project of the Farmstudio cultural center is located in the Kokořín natural reserve area, at a unique historical site of early 19th century farmhouse in the village of Vysoká. We provide space creative resident stays, symposia, workshops, lectures, festival, art school plain-airs, dance and theater meet-ups and other activities of contemporary arts and live culture (photography, installation art, performance, site-specific, music, dance, theater, ergotheraphy, alternative lifestyle etc.). We also provide space for other art associations.
