Our Purpose

To connect European artists with global developments and connect promoters of innovation in the technical field, are the main goals of the ArtCircleResidence-Europe Connect.

The newly founded NFP in Germany strives to use all international connections of its members to promote art and innovation. ArtCircleResidence-Europe Connect will closely cooperate with ArtCircleResidence in Australia and ArtCircle in Slovenia and use the experience and connections of its members.

Workshops and concerts help inspire innovative technologies in a globally connected and increasingly digital world. To promote connectivity, residency programs will take place at wineries and historically important or innovative buildings - to support the use of new locations for cultural exchange and to promote the art scene in rural areas too, using small locations to create opportunities for upcoming artists and smaller audiences.
