To OPEN the city gates to street arts means to bring out the value of open air spaces assigned to social life, to enforce the cohesion inside communities, to improve the local tourist activity, to create new routes for exchange and integration between European countries.

The creation of a international debate, the comparisons between normative and laws, different urban patterns and policies for development and support of street arts, will drive to a new consciousness and will produce new stimulus in administrators and art operators. This route could not be undertaken on a simple regional or local level. Our country, now, is Europe!

CREATIVE EUROPE results 2016

50% of funded projects is in the field of Performing Arts

Click here for complete results.

The results of the call EACEA 29/2015 on European Cooperation Projects were published. On a total of 529 projects, submitted by 36 countries participating in the program, 66 of them, between Small and Large Scale, were financed. 50% of them are in the field of Performing Arts !!!

Regarding the Small Scale, 51 projects (24 on Performing Arts) were selected out of 404 submitted by 36 countries, for a total of 9,847,360.77 Euros: France is leader in 10 selected projects, followed by UK (7) and Italy (6). Italy is leader in presence, having 31 partners in the selected projects, followed by France (28) and UK (20).

Regarding the Large Scale, 15 projects (8 on Performing Arts) were selected out of 125 submitted by 24 countries, for a total of 27.291.922,27 Euros: France is leader in 4 selected projects, followed by Germany (3) and Italy (2). France and Belgium are present with 17 partners each in selected projects, followed by Germany (14) and Italy (11).

The results of the 2016 call on Cooperation Projects demonstrate an increasingly competitive environment and a clear detachment of four nations - France, Italy, United Kingdom and Germany - which are characterized by a good representation among the selected projects, compared with other European countries, that indeed act on more modest numbers. A reflection must also be done about the proportion between the number of countries that have sent a project and the number of countries that in this last call has received a co-financing, which clearly results uneven in its distribution: for the Small-scale, 17 participating nations on 36 have received a grant; for Large-scale, only 9 of 24 nations have their projects selected.

The call for cooperation is an undoubted opportunity for all operators in the European cultural and creative sector, and includes projects based on networking activity, with a balanced and equitable international partnership. Also, eligible projects may not, by their very nature, support national activities, but must provide for cooperation activities focused on transnational mobility, audience development, capacity building, digitizing, creation of new patterns of cultural business, education and training.

The next call on the European Cooperation Projects will be published in July 2016.

FAREWELL FABRICE !

Fabrice Froger, Open Street administrator, left us.

There are persons who live own work and passions with the aim to fulfill themselves.

Then, there are persons who find own self-accomplishment in directing own work towards the others, in sharing own passions, in constructing bridges between cultures, in defending art and its surprising diversity.

Fabrice belonged to this second category.

And now, in the moment when he passed away, we want to remember him in this way. We are sure that we have lost an irreplaceable human patrimony, and also, a dear friend.

Farewell Fabrice, your work and your humanity will be forever a source of inspiration for all of us.
