"CreArt 3.0 #stringing_together"

ongoing

"CreArt 3.0 is currently a matrix composed by 13 European medium-sized cities, that works from 2012, exchanging experiences and good practices to foster Contemporary art, through a permanent transnational mobility program for emerging artists, curators and cultural agents, in order to maximise the economic, social & cultural contribution that creativity can make to their local communities. Our consolidated network will work #stringing_together to weave new alliances of collaboration and expand our challenges across Europe. For this new chapter, we #pushboundaries beyond the visual arts, reinforcing other artistic practices such as performative arts or music, and we also cross our own borders, by starting a new cooperation with an NGO based in Lviv in order to support the training & professionalisation of Ukrainian artists. Our general methodology is based on establishing sort of an umbrella for all of the initiatives in all the different partner cities around 4 strategic axes: Coordination: Management, Communication Plan and Conferences Participation: EU Month of Creativity, Street Art projects, Educational programs Cooperation: AiRs, Festivals, Mapping of creative resources. Mentoring: Capacity Building local Seminars, Grants for Culture-led initiatives. These WPs will translate into the following briefing of cultural actions and exchange activities: - 45 AiRs in 15 European cities - More than 39 public events to celebrate the European Month of Creativity in 13 cities from the Network (plus the cities and organizations that will join) - 13 Educational programs to enhance creativity and knowledge about Contemporary Arts. - 18 Street Art Festivals and 10 Annual Festivals in galleries in 9 cities - 6 European Conferences and study visits and 39 local capacity buildings in 13 cities "
