ADOPT THE SPACE
Every year in February, CHC invites all interested civil society organizations, artistic organizations, informal groups and citizens to submit program activities for implementation in the creative hub Prostor.
In this way, we want to open Prostor to the community in Split and its surroundings; to those who do not have a space to carry out activities, and to those who see in this invitation a way to present their work and activities for free. The creative hub consists of several multifunctional rooms that can host different types of activities – exhibitions, workshops, lectures, projections, discussions, short-term artistic interventions.
The invitation is open to all civil society organizations, artistic organizations, informal groups and citizens working in the field of culture, education, contemporary art, and involve different types of audiences especially youth or vulnerable groups. Activities of participatory nature have priority in the selection process. The registered activities must be open to the public and free of charge. It is possible to adopt the space for a duration of maximum one day.
It is possible to register only one activity proposal per applicant per year.
