What is HOIZ?

HOIZ means home.

We're creating an open, shared space for independent culture in Kraków — a place for minority and off-scene performances, rehearsals, visual work, workshops, residencies and gatherings.

It's a space for artists, organizations, educators, activists, researchers, and community groups from diverse backgrounds — especially those who are marginalized, at risk of exclusion, routinely denied access to institutional infrastructure, and in need of support to bring their ideas to life.

A home for minority, critically engaged projects that need a place to happen.

  • Technical equipment

  • Organizational support

  • Project promotion

  • Possible co-production or other support

Our spaces

Two spaces with completely different characters. Together we'll choose the one that best fits your project.
