The primary activity in the field of culture, art and pedagogy is included in the theatre. In the last 10 years the theater has held 27 show premieres with children and young people and has organized over 2000 drama and theater workshops for four age categories. The main idea of their work is that through theatrical exercises, games and tasks, participants work on their skills and competences necessary for real life. In addition to the main goal of this theater, which is personality development, there are secondary goals. One of them, equally important, as it corresponds to the entire society in which the individual, or the workshop participant, lives, is the development and nurturing of an educated theater audience. And not only the theater audience, but also consumers of other cultural and artistic content. In addition to groundwork and participation in workshops, participants engage in discussions and activities related to literature, performances, music, films, exchange experiences and use them to create their own responses to acting and non-acting tasks. In other words, they implement all the knowledge gained into their creations by dedicating themselves to art, thus creating unique worlds. As a result, children and young people who attend the workshops of the Misholovka Youth Theater become creators and recipients of artistic and cultural content.

Multimedia Center led Art, within its two long-term projects “Art Clinic” (2002-2012) and “Shock Cooperative” (2013 -), was established on the principle of collective community, participatory and voluntary work in art and culture. The activities that most closely determine the operation of the Led Art Multimedia Center are the care of the art scene in Novi Sad and beyond, encouraging and working with young artists, active work on changing and improving cultural policy, advocating all active and participatory forms of cooperation between individuals and formal and informal groups and institutions to improve the production, presentation, preservation, and development of the contemporary art scene, primarily visual art.
