RESEO Flash: A Creative Reopening for the European Arts Sector

7 July, 2020

RESEOFLASH

A Creative Reopening for the European Arts Sector

The last RESEO Flash newsletter took a look at how our members had been continuing to work with their communities in the particular circumstances of the past months.

As arts institutions begin to reopen across the world, many are now facing considerable challenges with regards to programming changes, cancellations, loss of income, touring, training and general uncertainty about the future. It is now more essential than ever to uphold culture in the EU budget and to work together to find creative responses to ensure the sustainability of the creative and cultural sectors across Europe.

Congratulations to the FEDORA Education Prize Nominees!

The FEDORA Prize for Education is awarded to innovative projects encouraging the involvement of new and wider audiences while fostering social integration amongst the participants.

RESEO is delighted to yet again partner with FEDORA (The European Circle of Philanthropists of Opera and Ballet) to award the 2020 FEDORA Education Prize, which seeks to reward social integration and intercultural dialogue as part of opera and ballet education projects. It is now possible to support the selected projects via the new FEDORA cross-border philanthropy platform, which facilitates international donations in the fields of opera and dance to support the emergence of a new generation of artists and the renewal of the art forms.
