The European Commission announced 1 March 2012, that the cultural cooperation project CreArt, coordinated by Valladolid and with the participation of 13 European cities and institutions, has been selected to receive EU funds for the next 5 years within the framework of the Culture Programme (2007-2013). The CreArt project will be initially developed for 5 years and has a total budget of 3.437.300 €.

Placing art and creativity at the centre of its activities, CreArt seeks to foster:

• artist mobility and the mobility of artworks
• the exchange of good practices in all areas surrounding the visual arts
• networking among art-related groups
• training programmes linked to art, artists and arts management
• dissemination programmes to make art accessible to the general public and specific groups
• analysing and publishing, on an on-going basis, the results of the Project and the rich knowledge derived from it
• creativity in industry and society at large.
• trans-European public-private partnerships, developing a sense of belonging to a common project: Europe.

“We believe CreArt has the necessary ingredients to become a reference platform – physical and technological– for the European exchange of knowledge, ideas, innovation, and for the promotion of creativity.”

The “CreArt” project has launched the annual celebration of the European Day of Artistic Creativity, which will take place on March 21st 2013 in all the cities under the “Network of Cities for Artistic Creation”, and in the cities and institutions across Europe wanting to join our initiative.

Another initiative promoted by the “CreArt” project is “Bank of ideas and creative resources”. It is a platform which has been specially designed in order to share innovative proposals related to artistic creativity as understood in the broadest sense. The “Bank of ideas and creative resources” is open to the contributions of anyone who would like to share an interesting idea, proposal or any kind of resource.
