Make a Point admite.
Ca Bucurestiul nu e o “capitala europeana”. 228 km patrati, iar din ei doar un km este semnificativ cultural, in centrul deranjat si suprasolicitat al orasului. In rest, cartiere-dormitor si uzine, construite in orasul insusi. Nimic din toate acestea in Berlin, Paris, sau Londra, unde alergi si cate doua ore de la expozitii la concerte, si tot in zona urbana esti. Un oras mare inseamna cartiere vii, cu personalitate.
Make a Point isi asuma.
Cartierele asa cum sunt ele: goale de viata si pline de buticuri, cazinouri si farmacii. Isi asuma uzinele intinse pe kilometri, in care nu se mai produce nimic, de ani de zile.
Make a Point isi asuma Bucurestiul, asa cum e el, si porneste la lucru.
Asociatia Make a Point incearca sa aeriseasca centrul si sa faciliteze manifestari culturale la periferie, in cartiere si printre blocuri, in hale abandonate, in fabrici si uzine sau in alte cimitire de acest soi. Traim intr-un oras antipatic, pe care altii, inaintea noastra, l-au uratit si ni l-au lasat asa. Noi cadem la pace cu acest gand si incercam sa redam orasul oamenilor.
Make a Point.
Organizeaza expozitii, spectacole, proiectii de film, workshopuri si ramane un spatiu dedicat expunerii de lucrari si mesaje ale creatorilor contemporani.

Make a Point admits.
That Bucharest is not an “European capital”. 228 square km, and only 1 km of those is culturally significant, situated in the tired, over saturated centre of the city. The rest, dormitory-neighborhoods and factories, built inside the city walls. You can find none of these in Berlin, Paris or London, where you can run around for hours from exhibitions to concerts while remaining in the city limits. A big city means neighborhoods booming with life and personality.
Make a Point accepts.
The neighborhoods the way they are: asleep and filled with 7-11s, casinos and pharmacies. It accepts the factories spread over kilometers, while they haven’t been producing anything for years.
Make a Point accepts Bucharest the way it is, and gets to action.
The Make a Point association tries to decongest the centre and facilitate cultural happenings in the city’s outskirts, in neighborhoods, abandoned halls, factories or other such locations. We live in an unpleasant city, which was left to us this way. We make our peace with this and try to give back the city to the people.

Make a Point organizes exhibitions, shows, movie projections, workshops and remains a space dedicated to exhibiting works and messages by contemporary artists.
