Xanadu Art
A non-profit, non-political, non-denominational organization dedicated to empowering youth through art, culture, and education.
Founded with a vision for change
Xanadu Art was founded in 2020 in Ohrid, Macedonia, by a group of enthusiasts who believed in the transformative power of art. Our name is inspired by the legendary city of Xanadu - a place of beauty, creativity, and cultural flourishing.
From our beginning, we have been working to create a space where young people can freely explore their creative potential, acquire new skills, and build lasting friendships through artistic expression.
Today, Xanadu Art operates locally, nationally, and internationally, collaborating with organizations across Europe through programs like Erasmus+.
