Meeting "CreArt. a new way to develop culture in medium-sized cities". Valladolid, 10 April

CreArt organized last Friday, April 10, the European meeting "CreArt. A new way to develop culture in medium-sized cities" in the Valladolid City Council.
After the selection of our project in 2012 by the EACEA of the European Commission, the CreArt cities have developed an intense program for the promotion of artistic creation. These activities include the set-up of a professional system for the mobility of artists and their artworks among the different CreArt cities; the organization of artist in residence programs; workshops leaded by renowned visual artists; seminars and conferences with the participation of European experts and University professors; travelling European exhibitions; and a research study about the contribution of artistic creation to local development. In total, 154 artists from the CreArt Network have directly participated since we started our program of activities.

Europa Creativa es el nombre del nuevo programa marco de la Unión Europa lanzado para apoyar las artes y la cultura para el periodo 2014-2020. Fue propuesto porla Comisión Europea en noviembre de 2011 y actualmente está en curso de validación por el Parlamento y Consejo Europeos. La principal novedad de este programa es la integración de los dos que existían antes para los sectores artísticos y culturales: por un lado el Programa Cultura 2017-2013, dirigido principalmente a actores e instituciones de patrimonio, espectáculo, artes visuales, música, literatura, etc.; por otro lado el Programa Media dedicado a las industrias audiovisuales y cinematográficas.La Comisión considera que todas las artes y la cultura se enfrentan a los mismos retos independientemente de sus actividades, y que un programa integrado facilitará los contactos y el intercambio de buenas prácticas.

The CreArt Network: Why artists in the city?. Dr. Jonathan Vickery. CreArt Ambassador

The CreArt Network of Cities for Artistic Creation have been working hard – promoting art, artists and creativity within European cities. They have been holding public seminars, exhibitions, workshops, and facilitating exchange between European cities. But why? Why do we need art in the city? Surely we have enough art already – in the museums and galleries. Surely during this time of crisis what we really need is a growing economy?

The CreArt Network challenges this distinction. It challenges the assumption that the ‘economy’ is independent of culture. It also challenges the assumption that art is not a part of the economy, or cannot play a role developing the economy.
