Let the arts cross borders! Press conference & seminar in Budapest

The press conference takes place the same day when EU Ministers of Culture meet in Brussels to adopt an EU recommendation on supporting information to mobile artists, asking EU Member States and the Commission to facilitate the provision of complete and accurate information to artists and culture professionals seeking to be mobile within the EU.
Following this joint press conference, OTM will hold in Budapest a seminar on culture mobility on 19th and 20th May, bringing together major European projects to share experiences on how to further improve and stimulate mobility for artists and operators. The seminar also aims to create useful synergies within the cultural sector for future joint mobility projects.

International Curators’ Visit to Wales
On May 19th 2010, Wales Arts International welcomed seven international curators to Wales for a tour of the country’s foremost contemporary visual arts galleries. The visit was scheduled to coincide with the re-opening of Oriel Mostyn in North Wales and the announcement of the winner of Artes Mundi 4 prize. With a rich programme of visits to artist workshops and exhibition spaces, the curators from China, New York, Ireland, Germany and Georgia travelled the length of the country to research and discover more about the unique visual arts scene in Wales. Part of Wales Arts International’s ongoing commitment to providing new opportunities for international development of the arts, it is hoped that this introduction to Wales’ visual arts scene will have inspired the visiting curators, and that connections made during the visit will result in new international opportunities for visual artists in Wales.

ArtLab hosted also the international workshop "Encouraging cross-border cultural mobility".The workshop was a good opportunity to present the Practics project to a selected and motivated audience of Italian artists and cultural operators, who showed their interest in the project. Representatives of the Regions and of the Ministries of Culture and of Foreign Affairs attended the meeting too. The lively and fruitful debate following the presentation provided useful information which will feed the mapping of the Italian situation of "mobility" (to be carried out by Fitzcarraldo within the project).
