Cult<\/strong>ure Next cities network launches the pilot edition of the Cities F<\/strong>und for Culture, an alternative financial mechanism for European cooperation in Culture. 10 European cities contribute to a joint fund that would be offered, through an open call, to European artists interested in working together to share their\u00a0Visions for Culture in a Sustainable Future<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201dThe Cities Fund is a bottom-up solution to complement the European Commission\u2019s top-down funding structures. We are experimenting with new ways to foster collaboration in culture, at city level and country level as well\u201d, says \u0218tefan Tei\u0219anu, Secretary General of the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pilot edition of the Fund selects seven European artists (citizens or residents of any European country, inside and outside the European Union) <\/strong>to work individually or collectively and share their visions for culture in today\u2019s changing world. Through a facilitated process, the selected artists are offered opportunities to discuss and work together, so then in the end they can decide to create their artworks individually or co-create them collectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resulting artworks will be hosted and promoted by all member cities of the Culture Next network: 26 cities coming from 17 countries of the EU and the UK.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applications open until February 25, 2022<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
