EDUCATION

Developing professional and non-professional education in the field of art and culture is Jam Factory Art Center’s top-priority area. All our projects are accompanied by a number of educational activities. We strive to be the platform for holding discussions on the most relevant artistic and philosophical ideas and phenomena, raising issues of societal importance, initiating interaction and exchange between artists, cultural professionals, and various visitors – adults, youth and children.

RESEARCH

At the same time, we plan to gradually increase our research potential by forming a pool of curators and theorists through educational programs in order to subsequently carry out our own research projects, produce knowledge, and participate in composing contemporary art history.
