European Platforms for the promotion of emerging artists

This action will support projects aimed at promoting emerging European artists and their works, improving their international visibility, and facilitating their circulation. Projects should also improve access to and participation in cultural events and activities, enhancing audience engagement and development.

For the purposes of this action, projects will need to establish platforms that can be defined as showcases or springboards made up of a coordinating organisation and member organisations, with a common programming and branding strategy.
