ART HOUSE PROJECT – General Information
ARTHOUSE PROJECT is a regional working and internationally cooperating platform for art and creativity. It is a playground for aspiring as well as established artists of the fine arts and beyond. We combine local streams of artistic expression with international movements, social themes with cultural expressions. Through the online network as well as within the framework of events, we give artists and innovative projects the opportunity to present themselves. We promote self-professionalization as well as cooperation as key factors in the global art market, and its fusion with other areas.

TRANSFORM-ARTE
TRANSFORM-ARTE is based on the events and working methods of ART HOUSE PROJECT – since its start in 2013. The location for this event – the former Pädagogische Akademie Eisenstadt, which has been vacant for more than a decade and only been used as storeroom for various institutions – offers new opportunities, especially due to its big size, history and location
TRANSFORM-ARTE is designed/conceived as an art fair of a different kind, with focus on presenting contemporary art and artists in combination with creative approaches in scientific work, as well as artistic bodily expressions in which visitors can participate. TRANSFORM-ARTE focuses on showing and using the arts inherent transformative force beyond borders, challenges the imagination and asks for creative action of the participants. With this event the building will be revived, following the aim of ART HOUSE PROJECT to use it further with people who dedicate themselves to art, creative action and innovative fusion.
