The studios in Building 75 – motoco are workspaces dedicated to creative activities. They are occupied by artists, artist collectives, associations, or organizations with creative projects in the field of visual arts. Today, numbering 130, having a studio at motoco means not only benefiting from beautiful spaces, but also enjoying the richness of encounters, the sharing of skills, and opportunities for collective projects.
