Loft Project BALKI
BALKI (’beams’) was one of the first creative and coworking spaces in Minsk – Loft Project Balki. Over 2.5 years, more than 300 events in the field of creative industries took place in Balki: lectures, workshops, exhibitions such as contemporary art, design, architecture, entrepreneurship and IT.
BALKI became a powerhouse for new ideas and ventures and one of the most inspirational places on a map of Minsk.

With time it became not just a place, but rather a community, and we launched new directions (Balki Travel – tours for creatives, Balki Education – typography design and mobile photography workshops, etc.).
