Our Story

— Art Philosophy

Creativity powered self- funded project through a membership system where contributors can allocate time or finances to building an alternative art school for sustainable living

We believe schools today do not equip children with skills needed to face and manage the challenges of the rapid ecological transition we will be facing over the next two decades.
We see that creativity can play a major role in innovating new methodologies and establishing a different approach in relation to natural resources and consumption.

In Context Art Association and playground is based in Slanic Moldova, but our team and community is international and online.
