CreArt (Network of Cities for Artistic Creation) is an European Network comprised of cities and public and private cultural institutions, selected to receive funds by the European Commission (Culture Programme 2012-2017, Creative Europe 2017-2021). The aim of CreArt is to respond to certain needs shared by European cultural institutions: to maximise the economic, social and cultural contribution that the visual arts can make by better supporting artists, managers, the industry and the general public by allowing them to create, exhibit and enjoy works of art, as well as to access training through seminars, artist residences, workshops and research programmes.
