WHY ARTCONNECTED?
Because we know too many frustrated Artists who missed opportunities, jobs and funding deadlines as they were scattered through too many different websites and media. We also know too many frustrated Organisers who don’t receive enough high quality responses to their calls. We know too many people who cannot find a venue suitable for their programmes and spend days on the phone. Finally, we also know too many extremely skilful technicians and service providers who are almost invisible and subsidise themselves through various jobs instead of utilising their experts skills.
We believe ArtConnected is a solution we all need. Please help us to build the final part of the platform and to connect ALL working in the Arts for successful artistic careers, greater visibility of all opportunities and easier collaborations.

• notifies members about upcoming calls matching their profiles
• helps to access constantly updated profiles, competences, interest and skills of each member of the Arts Sector in any geographical area for better collaboration, programming and distribution of available opportunities
