History 

ArT Platforma (former Art - Centr MOST) is an independent international centre for adults and children based in Prague, the Czech Republic. It was founded in 2012 and aimed to build bridges as a symbol of interconnections between people of different cultures living in Europe. The purpose of the centre was to create a live dialogue between native citizens and expats, to get to know the cultural traits, language and history of the Czech Republic, representing the uniqueness of other cultures, preserve the cultural identity of each representative; to exchange and expand creativity beyond national borders. A series of multicultural art events, concerts, creative meetings, workshops and other activities had been held.

Starting from the year 2016 Juliana Berezhnaya (Musical Theatre & Film Director) became a new owner and a creative core of Art-Centr MOST s.r.o. The Center got its new name – ArT Platforma and headed towards a live pulsing creative and educative space blending various artistic genres: theatre, dance & movement, cinema, multimedia, performance, music and visual art on one stage. It ́s an independent platform for professional education in performing arts and theatre for all ages; a creative multidisciplinary artistic residency for intercultural collaboration with the main credo: “Each creativity matters...”
