Description

„The Farm Krenovka in the Prague Žižkov – new centre for contemporary art and Community“ project will change the cultural monument in an innovative way. In this object, which is a part of the Prague Connection Railways, State Railways, and Turnov-Kralupy-Prague Railways Structural Complex, will be established a centre providing new premises for contemporary art (especially for dance) and community activities. 

The project will achieve the objectives through several synergistic activities:
- building completion and furnishings of the reception and the co-working room ArtHub
- Studio Krenovka and Dance Prague facilities including a Meeting Room: installation of a dance floor, furnishings and technology. This activity supports especially the activities and public programme of the project partner (Tanec Praha z.ú.)
- operation of the Krenovka cultural centre: a space for artists and the community: already in September 2022 the Centre will be open to the public and an inclusive and diverse programme will be offered
- Krenovka activates the Gordian Knot/public events reviving the brownfield: 9 site-specific events for the centre and its surroundings 

About 220 events for 2.500 – 3.000 visitors will  be organised within the project. 

An important aspect of the project is cooperation with the Norwegian partner, Dansens Hus Oslo, which will share its know-how with the operation of one of the best dance houses in Europe and its programme experience.
