Irish led Creative Europe programme will mark end of first year with Venice gathering
Collaborative Arts Partnership Programme (CAPP) held their fourth partner meeting in Venice in early November. The participating organisations brought artists who specialise in participatory projects in their countries. Against the back-drop of the Venice Biennale the artists and partner organisations had the opportunity to engage with Artway of Thinking, develop professional partnerships and seed further arts initiatives in the collaborative sphere in venues across Europe
Artway of Thinking is a multidisciplinary art collective known for their arts and research work with diverse groups, activating collaborations with administrative authorities, companies and professionals in Italy and abroad. They are the recipients of the 2015 Evens Foundation Art Prize. For more information, please, click HERE.
The Collaborative Arts Partnership Programme (CAPP) is an ambitious transnational cultural programme focusing on the dynamic area of collaborative arts. The overall goal of CAPP is to improve and open up opportunities for artists who are working collaboratively across Europe, by enhancing mobility and exchange whilst at the same time engaging new publics and audiences for collaborative practices.
