ArtWay is a small (about 40 visitors) demoscene event located in Czech republic near to germany borders (at map). This year it's the 8th ArtWay party in history. Till the last year it was for amiga only but due to low amount of "amiga" visitors and compo contributions we decided to make it open for other main demoscene platforms. So this time you could expect for example a PC demos too.

The Czech demoscene is too small these days to be divided into many pieces like Amiga, Atari, C64, PC. We hope that this event will help to join into somethin' bigger and to grow in future.

If you would like to come let us know and register yourself for a seat.
