Next 21 March, European Day of Artistic Creativity, a lot of initiatives of citizen participation will be developed with the objective of celebrating artistic creativity around Europe. The European Day of Artistic Creativity is a new initiative promoted by CreArt. Network of Cities for Artistic Creation, a cultural cooperation project with the participation of 12 partner cities and insitutions (Aveiro–PT, Kaunas-LT, Kristiansand–NO, Linz–AT, Stichting id11–NL, Genoa-IT, Lecce–IT, Harghita–RO, Pardubice–CZ, Arad–RO, Vilnius-LT, and Valladolid–ES) within the framework of the Culture Programe of the European Commission.
“As members of the CreArt project, we are aware of the importance of promoting creativity as one of the basic elements of individual development and of the creation of a European identity. Our aim is to celebrate one day a year, and at a European level, artistic creativity in all Europe, with open activities in museums, public and private cultural institutions, visual arts centres, art schools, galleries, schools, etc. We would also like to witness artists and public interaction in these centres and cities, communicating through the language of art and creativity. The European Day for Artistic Creativity will also become the springboard for new, original and necessary ideas, aimed at the general public, professionals and institutions”.
In order to do that, 6 months ago a specific website http://www.europeandayofartisticcreativity.eu, had been set up, to invite european citizens to send their ideas and suggestions for new activities that can be developed in their cities. The proposals submitted so far are very different, and goes from the opening of exhibitions and specific activities in galleries, museums, and educational centers, to the opening of artist’s studios, organization of photography contests, art installations in public spaces, among other actions.
Later, each institution (museum, art center, municipality, educational center, gallery, etc.) has uploaded into the website the activities and special events planned for the 21st March, what can allowed to build a complete programme of activities for this first edition of “THE EUROPEAN DAY OF ARTISTIC CREATIVITY” that can be checked here: http://www.europeandayofartisticcreativity.eu/programme-of-activities-2013/
