Missions

Art Info Point
Today, each of us searches for information on the Internet. Despite the great advances in technology, a great deal of information remains beyond the reach of the online space. Much of this knowledge continues to be transmitted person to person or found in dusty and hard to find books. Our Art Library stores such information in its hundreds of editions. We have art albums and books in over ten languages, the oldest of them dating back to the begining of XX century. Our colleagues in various fields of art continue to share and relay information about the art world. The Art Info Point project combines the information base of the Center for Arts with the creation of a network of people and the making of a photo studio for works of art. This allows us to easily to access, archive and forward information. For two years Art Laboratory has been offering free consultation on creating an artistic portfolio and photographing artworks for students in the art fields.
