Artus Contemporary Arts Studio is based in a huge, abandoned factory building, with broken windows and no heating, but still, it is an extremely exciting place. About 30 artists work here on their own and also together, inspiring one another, in tiny studios or in vast factory halls. This place is above all an artistic community, a laboratory, a theatre and an exhibition space, where the members of the studio regularly present their work to the public.

The Trafó building, once the electrical transformer station for south Pest, was built in 1909 as a work in the industrial turn-of-the-century style. It was put to cultural use by a French anarchist artistic group at the beginning of the 90's, who discovered the building after it had been abandoned for more than forty years. Performances and concerts followed one another for a summer. The Budapest City Council bought the building so that the legal successor to the legendary Young Artists' Club (FMK), formerly on Andrassy út, converted it into a suitable, multifunctional, well equipped contemporary arts center appropriate for the current times.
The Trafó House of Contemporary Arts opened its gates during the 1998 Budapest Autumn Festival.
