The New Wave Association was established in 2013 in order to revive the culture in the city of Trenčín and at the same time to use the industrial premises of the former Merina factory, which we think has a very creative potential. Primarily, we focused mainly on young artists from the Trenčín region, and we have also extended the presentation for all-year-long artists last year. At present, the Merine studio works as a day co-working space that occasionally turns into a show or presentation space. Within this framework, we are open to potential ideas and incentives, we are happy to welcome creative collaboration and help present interesting projects.
