About Nástupište 1-12 / Platform 1-12

The group of authors, Platform 1-12 is a civic association whose members are several artists, visual artists , graphic designers, psychologists, activists and cultural workers. They specialise in conceiving and running projects aimed at art, culture and education, but also environment and sport. The aim of their activities is an overall improvement of the quality of life of the inhabitants of this region. They also cooperate intensively with other cultural and educational institutions inside and outside the region, particularly with secondary schools. The key project of the association is Platform 1-12, the multimedia space for contemporary culture, which was opened for the public in the underpass beneath the bus station in Topoľčany in September 2011. In an attempt to recycle this public space, the association undertakes most of its activities there, including art exhibitions, expert lectures, seminars, workshops, public radio recordings, theatre performances, film screenings, music performances and discussions. They not only place emphasis on the actual presentation of art or culture, but also try to arouse public interest in these areas and encourage creativity of the public. At the same time they aim to directly support the creation of works of young artists from the region, from Slovakia and the world. The civic association 1-12 was founded in April 2011.
