Atelje A22 is an independent cultural platform and publishing house based in Montenegro, dedicated to contemporary art, architecture, and critical thought.

Founded initially as a non-profit cultural organization, Atelje A22 began with a mission to create meaningful dialogue between Montenegrin and international artists through exchange programs, exhibitions, workshops, and experimental educational formats. From the start, the focus has been on supporting emerging voices and creating spaces for collaboration across disciplines — from visual arts and writing to audiovisual and performative practices.

Since 2023, Atelje A22 has expanded its work through Atelje A22 Publishing House Ltd, specializing in the translation and publication of significant titles in architecture, theory, and contemporary art. Through its editorial work, the publishing house contributes to the development of local professional discourse while connecting regional audiences with international authors and ideas.

The organization works closely with emerging artists and cultural practitioners, offering opportunities for learning, experimentation, and international exchange. Its activities have included exhibitions, seminars, artist residencies, rural youth workshops, and interdisciplinary summer programs that emphasize non-formal and experimental education.

Atelje A22 collaborates with cultural partners worldwide, building networks that support the exchange of knowledge, new perspectives, and sustainable development within the contemporary cultural landscape.
