About ARTA

Following an extensive restoration and regeneration programme launched in 2012, ARTA has become a major cultural hub for the local community and a catalyst for the creative industries and the independent sector.

At ARTA, we promote cultural events where people of different ages and with different interests come together in an environment that encourages communication, tolerance and understanding. We create cultural experiences that bring people together, inspire them and hold meaning for those taking part.
‍
The activities focus on three main areas:

• The main programme dedicated to contemporary cinema: arthouse films, independent films and documentaries.
• A curated programme of multidisciplinary events, including concerts, exhibitions, workshops and conferences.
• An educational programme through which we aim to create a safe space where young people can learn, develop and express themselves freely.

Our mission is to promote culture and diversity through the interaction between different art forms and people. As culture has a vital impact on social and urban development, we aim to create an interdisciplinary platform that will contribute to the city’s social and cultural life.
