GET INVOLVED
Center Rog is a base for innovative and creative individuals and organisations working in a range of disciplines such as crafts, design, architecture and engineering. Our goal is to build a strong international community of creative individuals and organisations who share our values, and to that end we are open to a wide range of cooperation opportunities. We issue annual calls for partners as well as regular calls for projects with a strong environmental and social impact. We are committed to achieving a diverse creative community in terms of gender, nationality and culture, and actively encourage applications from individuals from systemically excluded communities.
