Artforum in Košice was founded on 28 October 1994 on the anniversary of the founding of Czechoslovakia. The initiator was the owner of Bratislava Artforum. The philosopher Erazim Kohák said that such a selection of philosophical literature cannot be found in one place or in Prague. Artforum Košice continues to regularly organize author readings, concerts, book presentations and the children's book festival Punktík. Quality and beauty remain the first selection criteria for books. The spirit of informality and relaxed. The spirit of informality and relaxed atmosphere in the bookstore remains even after moving to the historic ArtHaz building at Hlavná 87. The bookshop has become a caffe with a selection and cozy bar.
