The Vinyl Factory

Following lead support of The Moving Museum London, The Vinyl Factory, came on board in 2014 as the Founding Partner for The Moving Museum.

Founder Mark Wadhwa said “The Vinyl Factory is expanding its cultural programme on an international level. We have a continued interest in culture across all disciplines but recognize that creative activity is a global phenomenon, with a shared impact in which we all benefit. We were delighted to continue our support of The Moving Museum as we believe in the continued vision of this young social enterprise and the artists it is collaborating with on the Istanbul project.”
