OASis
The OASis – Open Art Spaces and Synergy project will build a network of free and open creative spaces across Europe, with the aim of reducing the entry barriers that exist in the art world. OASis aims to have a positive impact both on artists who want to turn their talent into a job, and on citizens who often distance themselves from the sector. The project creates a unique consortium of almost 20 different institutions (NGOs, cultural institutions, municipalities, universities). It consists of two key modules:
1) Open Art Spaces (OASis) – creation of 13 interdisciplinary art venues in 10 countries (Armenia, Belgium, France, Georgia, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia and Slovenia) with contemporary models of an open art center, combining local context with international art exchange and based on a participatory planning and management format. The module includes both: creation of OASis oases based on existing art venues and on locations never used for artistic purposes.
2) OASis program initiatives – 39 artist residency programs at 13 OASis venues/oases, which will conclude with at least 99 artistic realizations based on the concept of co-creation (professional international and local artists create together with local communities and groups at risk of cultural exclusion).
In addition to the Inna Przestrzen Foundation, the lead partner, the project includes 13 project partners and 4 associated partners.
