About

ABOUT US

Art Project Depot (APD) is a nonprofit association whose mission is to promote the realization and presentation of contemporary art workers: visual artists, writers, musicians, performance artists and others. Our activity is focused on projects exploring public spaces (site specific) and land art, as well as on artists whose work has a bearing on the social environment and its political, economic, cultural and historical aspects. We support novel artistic practices, which address wide segments of the public and reflect the present dynamics of the access to information thus changing the attitudes of educated spectators and bringing up for discussion a broader spectrum of themes and issues related to the world surrounding us.

One of the organization‟s main objectives is to create conditions for the establishment of partnerships between Bulgarian and foreign authors and organizations and to popularize Bulgarian contemporary art.

Art Project Depot is especially active working with young people aged between 18 and 30 years. In this way we seek to further the practical side in the training of young artists, researchers, and managers and to cultivate a new generation of audience with a keen interest in the processes of contemporary art.

Founded 2010 by Irina Batkova. Before that (2005-10) the Art Project Depot association existed as a platform for non-commercial projects of the Vitosha Gallery, developing such projects as the Awards for Contemporary Bulgarian Art, Mtel.
