EUROPE: A SPACE FOR ACTION OF AN APPROPRIATE SCALE

Arty Farty has always considered itself as more of a European than a French cultural structure.

The creation of the European Lab Forum in 2011 brought the association’s European commitment to fruition.

Since then, it has participated in a succession of projects and platforms for cooperation at the European level: We are Europe, Sphera, The Circle, EU-Med, Chebec and, most recently, the Reset! network.

The European context offers Arty Farty a space for action of an appropriate scale for the projects that it develops with the cultural structures, festivals, labels, publishers, third places and independent media structures with which it interacts.

Part of Arty Farty’s central mission is to connect these structures and give them a shared sense of momentum.

To achieve this, it draws on two essential tools: a European media project (We are Europe) and a venue based in the heart of Brussels, the European capital (Reset, the venue) where Arty Farty can host all the European networks and ecosystems with which it works on a daily basis.
