Motto
Today, when more and more people tend to think dangerously alike, art’s capacity to suspend, even for a moment, our habitual ways of seeing may be its greatest value.
Mission
DOX is a non-commercial, independent initiative whose mission is to present contemporary art in the context of issues that shape and are shaped by today‘s world.
Objectives
To encourage the growth of the local artistic community by facilitating collaboration and partnerships among regional and international artists and institutions.
To examine critical issues that cross boundaries between different fields such as architecture, design, sculpture, painting, photography, film and new media.
To create an environment for interaction, development and inspiration of different views and opinions.
The aim is not only to present exhibitions and works of art, but also to create a dynamic forum for social interaction.
