We are a group of young artists
working in different fields of art such as: dance, theatre, urban art, public
art, visual and digital arts, circus, music, design, stage design etc. What
gives meaning to our work is the freedom of working, the trust
between us and the collaboration with motivated and innovative artists who work to improve the
surrounding environment. In a period of a year and a half we worked outthe project ’Urban Art Factory’, which mission was to gather a creative
society in our city, to unite artists from allfields of
art, to give them an opportunity to have their own working space in a shared
and creative environment, as well as to work for expanding the awareness of the
Bulgarian audience and for the realisation of many socially-engaged projects.
Some of the platforms that originated from the project ‘Factory for Urban Art’ are Photo Corpus and Mobile Workshop.
Each day is new for us, filled with new provocations. We don’t give up in hard moments and we meet the obstacles as challenges.
Now we are at a stage
where it is highly important for us to develop our project and on the basis of experience we've got and with the partners we've worked with so
far to transform it into HOUSE Creative Hub - distinct and fully independent
creative space, with a garden and the incredible chance to be situated at the
heart of Sofia. The spaces of the old house will be transformed into: a hall
for stage arts, backstage, working space with desks for handmade crafts, shared
office, library, info-kitchen, open workshops, a storage and a garden. It is
important for us House Creative Hub to be accessible place and to work both on
national and international level. House Creative Hub is going to be a place
where every artist will have the freedom to create, to share and to improve the environment
he/she works in. HOUSE Creative Hub is going to be a space of open working time where any moment of inspiration is welcome 24/7. We aim not just to give
working space to the artists but to make them connected with the place.
HOUSE Creative Hub is going to be orientated to establishing ethics
working, communication and collaboration between the artists.
HOUSE Creative
Hub is going to
be a space that will motivate and attract children and young people.
HOW WILL THIS HAPPEN
* By constant changing of the
interior space. Everything in the interior will be made by the artists who are
residents in the house and will be for sale as online as to the visitors of the
Creative Hub. This constant move will give a feeling of a dynamic environment .
*By workshops, forums, ateliers organised by the artists, aiming to provoke the
creativity and the imagination of the children and the youngsters.
* By creating sense of
appurtenance and engagement to the idea and the mission. Every artist will be
involved by the core team in collaborative projects, role playing games,
brunches, events, presentations etc.
*By creating a growing social network between the
artists and art groups.
We believe that a place like HOUSE Creative Hub
contains the power of a conscious, engaged, social, shared, innovative and
confident artistic work, which is needed for improving the environment we live
in.
Your help
is highly important for us because by supporting the HOUSE Creative Hub project
you become a part of our mission, you prove the meaning of the whole idea and
you motivate every future brave step of ours. It is important because the level
we achieve on our own is not enough to fully accomplish the project, and
because by the act of support we together achieve one of our goals – internationality.
We had the
luck that the owner of the house believed in the project, trusted us completely
allowing all the spaces to be transformed according to our vision.
The house
has been on our disposition since July. So far we refurbished part of it using
personal funds. We fully cleaned up, took care of the garden, installed
electrics and plumbing, made furnitures of pallets and recycling materials and
outfitted it on a basic level.
We were
supported in the providing of paint for the walls and the fence.
The financial support will help us not only to
transform the house in a HOUSE Creative Hub, but it will give us in addition
the chance to offer artists, who would like to become a part of the project, an
affordable and symbolic fee.
The funding
we need is 50 000 EUR.
With these funds we will be abel to cover the specific needs for the
spaces:
*Professional equipment (sounding
and lighting systems, camera, lenses, stands)
*Dance floor + matting, mirrors, curtains
*Projectors
*Buying
additional important tools for work
*Paying the rent for six months in advance
*Finishing the electrics and
securing
*Roofrepairing
*Heating system (installing
air-conditioning)
*Buying
recycled materials for making furnitures, doors, book shelves etc.
*Creating a website
*Creating advertising materials
like posters, flyers, stickers etc.
[In case we are not able to collect all the fund we
need we plan to distribute the amount we've got proportionally to all the
needs.]
