We are pleased to announce that the Croatian Association of Fine Artists<\/strong> is once again part of the CreArt network \u2013 a European project<\/strong> that continues the earlier CreArt 1.0 and 2.0. – the European network of cities and private and public institutions, which started in 2012 with the aim of responding to the needs of European cultural institutions, which includes increasing the economic, social and cultural impact of the visual arts by providing better support to artists, managers in culture, industry and the general public.<\/p>\n

The European Commission<\/strong> once again recognized the importance of this project and supported the new three-year chapter CreArt 3.0 (#CreArt3)<\/strong> with 1.9 million euros<\/strong>, and the first activities will begin in January 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n

CreArt is a network of 13 medium-sized European cities with the aim of exchanging experiences and good practices for the promotion of contemporary art, through a permanent transnational mobility program for emerging artists, curators and cultural workers, in order to maximize the economic, social and cultural contribution that creativity can make to local communities (#stringing_together)<\/strong>. At the same time, CreArt 3.0<\/strong> is pushing the boundaries (#pushboundaries)<\/strong> beyond the visual arts, empowering other artistic practices such as performing arts or music, and new collaborations with an NGO based in Lviv have also been initiated to support Ukrainian artists.<\/p>\n
