AQB is an independent art center in Budapest, Hungary. It was initiated in 2012 and it functions as an exhibition place for contemporary art, a studio house, and an artist-in-residence program in a uniquely renovated factory building, the former Haggenmacher brewery. Numerous Hungarian visual artists and creative enterprises found their constant base in the building complex. AQB runs an international residency program, provides space for a unique experimental sound studio, and organizes exhibitions in its non-profit Gallery called Project Space.
