Art Zavod Platforma for business events on Kyiv’s Left Bank
- WRITTEN
- UPDATED
Art Zavod Platforma on Kyiv’s Left Bank combines event spaces, business infrastructure and a creative environment. For companies it is a venue where a product presentation can be complemented by client networking, a partner programme or a corporate event.
The location is worth considering for events where atmosphere, audience interaction and the ability to adapt the space to a brand concept matter.
Space for business and events
The art factory offers locations for large and intimate events, corporate programmes and lectures. The grounds include green areas and parking. The required space and event configuration are chosen together with the team depending on the number of guests, the season and the technical brief.
The organiser’s main task is to decide which parts of the programme should take place indoors and which can be moved outside. This makes it possible to plan the presentation area, networking spaces and guest services separately.

A short history of Art Zavod Platforma
Art Zavod Platforma has been developing since 2014 on the site of the former Darnytsia Silk Mill. The industrial space gradually took on new functions: festivals, creative teams, offices and entrepreneurs.
The combination of industrial architecture and new business scenarios shaped the character of the location. Events, art and entrepreneurship develop here, and the spaces are also used for advertising and film shoots.
