Take the opportunity to meet with Cultural Actors in rural areas. Ask them questions, talk about their challenges, understand their experiences in working in non-urban areas and learn from other contexts. Sit back and listen, or help solve the issues we are facing in thinly populated areas.

AREA - Arts in Rural European Areas started as a working group within IETM. In October 2020, it became an independent network that continues to contribute to IETM.

AREA is a new network that supports arts in rural areas by creating exchanges of experiences, researching working methods, and collecting data and resources. It stimulates advocacy on a local, regional, national and European level. AREA includes all disciplines. Members are artists, creators, organisers, policymakers and scientists from all continents.
