Friends of the Vaults is a permanent membership programme for creative professionals at GES-2 House of Culture. The aim of the programme is to provide designers, artists, architects, musicians, cinematographers, and other creatives with a space to put their ideas into practice and an opportunity to draw on the wealth of expertise and equipment available at the Vaults over the course of a month. Working at the Vaults allows for experimentation with a vast array of materials—wood, metal, plastic, ceramics, and textiles; for the creation of projects in photo, audio, and video studios; for work in a 3D printing laboratory, a printmaking studio, and a finishing workshop; and for the exchange of experience and collaboration with other participants and professionals.
