ABOUT US

The ART Depot in Cluj-Napoca is a cultural project whose outline emerged from the meeting and collaboration of an art historian and a collector, lovers of Transylvanian fine arts, with their individual and relevant notes.
The result is a virtual art platform that documents and promotes artists active in Transylvania in the context of the aesthetic and institutional transformations of the 19th–20th centuries.
Representatives of the Baia Mare Colony of Painting (1896–1944), the teachers of the Cluj School of Fine Arts and their disciples spread across the main Transylvanian cultural centers, as well as Romanian artists from the universities of Bucharest, Iași, Cluj, and Chișinău, regular participants in the summer courses in Baia Mare, are included.
Our project aims to valorize these established or unjustly marginalized artists, active in Transylvania and after 1918,  in Romania, during the 19th and 20th centuries.
Our central objective is the conservation, restoration, and valorization of this heritage, giving it increased visibility and returning it to the contemporary cultural circuit.
