For over 20 years, AVi Cola Club was more than just a venue—it was a defining space for electronic music and underground culture. Recognized for its architectural significance with a special award at the Bucharest Architecture Biennale, the club built a strong community of music lovers, DJs, and artists. Now, its legacy is evolving into something even greater.
The Future of AVi: A Cultural and Educational Hub
AVi 2.0 is set to become a multifunctional creative space that supports artists, musicians, and creators. The new project goes beyond the traditional club format, offering a platform for learning, experimentation, and professional growth. It will function as a music venue, a workshop space, and a networking hub designed to inspire and develop the next generation of talent.
Introducing ElectroMusic Museum
Alongside AVi 2.0, the ElectroMusic Museum will highlight the rich history of electronic music technology and audio equipment, particularly innovations from Târgu Mureș’ own ElectroMureș. This museum will provide an interactive learning experience, showcasing Romania’s contributions to sound engineering and music production.
