Nopoint Atelier is an independent printing studio, focused on silkscreen and risograph printing. Apart from developing our own artistic practice, printing, and publishing hand-printed editions, the main idea behind the studio has always been to meet up and work with other artists. So, each year we are organising artist visits, artist residencies, collaborations, and workshops, welcoming visual artists from around the world and providing them with equipped, comfortable studio to focus on their work.
Our aim is to encourage experimentation through the different programs that we develop as a tool for exploration, pursuit of future visions, and further development. 
The idea was born in 2015, when the creator of Nopoint Atelier, Miroslav Zhivkov, ended up Couchsurfing at a photographer's place and they worked together for a few days at his darkroom. The experience to share someone else's studio was so enjoyable, that Miro decided to create a shared space for artist here it in Bulgaria. (Well, later it turned out that artists residencies are already a thing, but still - the idea was on!)
So, Miro started sharing about his idea here and here, and started looking for the place to start it. And he found it - an almost 100-year-old village house at the heart of the Balkan, surrounded by greenery and mountains, engulfed in stillness and birdsongs. 
A few year of rebuilding and renovations followed. A few people worked a lot and many others helped along the way. So what was once an old barn started a new life as a shared printing studio. And what was once an abandoned old house became our home.
Over the years, we built that home around the idea of welcoming artists from all around the world. To work together for a while. To live together for a while. To explore our understandings together. For a while. And then keep going in our own directions.
Nothing was perfectly planned. There was just no point...
Because many "planned" things have been changing along the way. So, we were simply doing it to the best we could. True to our own ways and our own vision. Testing it all out.
And we quickly ended up proving to ourselves that shared work provides many hidden values. And builds strong new relationships. That a break in the routine is the easiest way to question what we already know, allowing growth. And why not change? And that earnest provocations come from unexpected places. Like working with people we have never met before.
