Off-site projects

Garage organizes public lectures and discussions, including events for professional audiences, runs the Garage Screen Film Festival in Russian cities and the CIS countries, supports contemporary art libraries by providing them with books published by Garage, and shares its expertise with cultural initiatives in different cities. In 2020, Garage launched the annual Forum of Contemporary Art Institutions to foster professional communication and build horizontal connections between cultural workers.
