ArtNet Artist-Run Initiative, has been the occasion for the collaboration of individuals coming from and involved with the artistic community. On the occasion of the comparison between the artistic activity in cities of Northern Europe with that of Thessaloniki, we organised with the aim of adopting and developing models that will lead to the reduction of this gap. Project ArtNet is the necessary preparation and research that must be preceded before proceeding with larger scale actions. Project ArtNet is currently active on the following projects: Collection of data on the artistic activity of Thessaloniki. Recording and mapping of all artistic and hybrid artistic spaces of the city. Collection of this data through questionnaires addressed to the above spaces. Collection of data through questionnaires addressed to the artistic community. Search for funding sources and acquisition of know – how in terms of applying for, searching for and applying for funding from EU and other sources. Collecting experiences on successful and failed funding efforts. Free disclosure of research results and data via an online platform. Event notification, open calls, actions, ads for artists etc. through our online platform. Occasion for artistic collaborations.
