Located in the Casa Presei Libere building-originally named the Iosif Visarionovici Stalin Printing House Complex and, after de-Stalinization, the Vladimir Ilici Lenin Printing House Complex, a Soviet propaganda edifice built between 1952 and 1957 on the site of the former royal racetrack-the ARSMONITOR art gallery aims to be "a testament to the power of art and private initiatives to revive spaces steeped in history."
A space of over 200 square meters has been renovated and reimagined, transforming within half a year into a contemporary art gallery.
"As an entrepreneur in the creative industry, the opening of ARSMONITOR marks a certain maturation of my position as an investor in initiatives that transform the city. Through all the projects I have been involved in, I have aimed to contribute to the way the city is redrawn and reinvented with the help of courageous, visionary individuals. From ARSMONITOR, we want to show that people like us, with energy, can create from scratch, on our own, projects that inspire the community, spark conversations, create value, and change perceptions," said Mia Munteanu, entrepreneur & co-founder of ARSMONITOR.
