Spaces of Culture is getting stronger!
During the open call for 2020 we received 350 exciting and diverse project applications from Izmir, Diyarbakir and Gaziantep. The growing interest in Spaces of Culture evidently reflects the dynamic cultural landscape and outstandingly creative energy in our project cities.
Due to the Covid-19 outbreak situation, we postponed the announcements of the prospective grantees to evaluate this challenging situation we`re all in. We highly believe, that all selected applications will develop new technology methods by considering the new conditions we are in to fulfill the Spaces of Culture criteria of creativity, sustainability, effectivity, contribution to the cultural scene as well as the idea of cultural diversity and social cohesion.
We are happy to announce today 39 valuable projects from cinema, music, contemporary art, performance and dance to visual arts, cultural heritage, literature and theater that receive our support for 2020.
Congratulations to everyone and best of luck!
