HALLE 14

HALLE 14 is a non-profit art centre. It is a place for the presentation of contemporary art and a space for reflection and communication.

The five-storey, 20.000 m2 building HALLE 14 is situated in the area of the former Leipzig Cotton Spinning Mill. Since the beginning of the 1990ies, artists, gallerists and other creatives have built a productive and lively community.

The restoration of HALLE 14 is part of developing it into an art centre with a wide variety of projects and activities connected to contemporary art.
