Art Labyrinth

Chişinău


Difficult to categorise, this charmingly derelict multipurpose collective is of most interest as a performing-arts and concert venue, but also contains galleries, yoga and dance studios, and a vegan cafe. Events happen two or three times per week, and the place is at its best during weekend parties fuelled by DJs or live bands.

Food (mostly raw) and coffee in the cafe is by donation.
