The Faketory is an international oriented Art Studio. Creative and art director Martijn Crowe started the Faketory in Rotterdam 8 years ago. It was famous within a year for its strange exhibition of art, artists, poets, musicians, books and good coffee. Apart from painting and working with photography and video to create art, Martijn Crowe started working with homeless people, teenagers, drag queens and the elderly around the world. To date, the Faketory has implemented several international projects which can be seen here:
