The STEP Association is active in the field of art animation, education through arts, revitalization of the city space through social participation in the arts. Since 2003 we’ve been organizing various art events, exhibitions, workshops, open meetings etc., mainly in postindustrial spaces and on river banks. Between 2003 and 2007 our independent Gallery 2b hosted over 200 artists, presenting their works in a modern, dynamic way in various locations, mainly in Warsaw and Łódź. Beginning of 2004 we’ve been publishing a bimonthly magazine „tytuł roboczy – otwarty magazyn sztuki” [working title – open art magazine] devoted to modern art, and various participatory projects. We focus on making the city a better place to live and on developing citizen's creativity.
transFORM:
a project of creating by the Vistula river in Warsaw a space, where artists and residents, interested and not necessarily interested in art—can explore the area together, work together, create or simply have fun. Modern art is the basis for those encounters. It is a socio-artistic laboratory where experiment, discovery, creativity are in the centre of interest.
Icons of Victory:
an attempt to present various records of transformations - those undergone by whole nations and societies as well as those which change ourselves personally. Over 100 artists of different age and nationalities participate.
WYKLUCZONE! (EXCLUDED? NO WAY!)
a project including competitions, meetings, exhibitions, raising the issue of abandoned spaces and the search for new uses for them. Three editions so far.
