TESTART

TestArt gathers seven partner organisations addresses one of the Creative Europe’s objectives – Transnational creation and circulation of European works and artists by focusing on the priority of the International dimension, to build the capacity within the European cultural and creative sector, including grass-roots organisations and micro-organisations, to be active at international level in Europe and beyond.
With the project we wish to build and test new capacities for European grass-roots and micro-organisations to work internationally in the cultural and creative sectors and to foster the transnational creation of performing-art works by organizing a permanent European network for their circulation.

Partnership

The TestArt partnership acts as an international network that intends to bring TrainArt’s results and the local dimension of its pilot actions to an effective transnational cooperation, focusing on artistic contamination and collaboration at European level.
