Farmstudio was established in 2014 by Pavel Matela and runs with a support of the Farmstudio association, which was founded in 2018. The venue is undergoing gradual reconstruction, with no public-funds subsidies. Independent project of the Farmstudio cultural center is located in the Kokořín natural reserve area, at a unique historical site of early 19th century farmhouse in the village of Vysoká.

We also provide space for other art associations.
