We are proud to introduce our Innovate Cultural Policy Event which will be held online on 25 January from 10:00 - 12:00 CET under the title Which side are you on? Ideas for Reaching Fair Working Conditions in the Arts.
This event will introduce the ideas from Katja Praznik and Bojana Kunst, whose work is featured in our new publication under the same title. We have also invited two professionals to introduce innovative new funding schemes and the lessons learned, namely the Irish Basic Income Scheme for the Arts and the pilot programme of Perform Europe, supported by Creative Europe.
Participation needed in Members Survey - IETM Cultural Policy Event 2023
IETM is calling on its members to participate in a survey of which the outcomes will be presented at the IETM Innovate Cultural Policy Event on 25 January 2023. We invite you to take part in a collective analysis by answering the following question: "What are the three things about your working conditions that you would like to change tomorrow, if you could?"
IETM’s next Plenary Meeting will be held in Aarhus, Denmark, from Monday 12 to Thursday 15 June 2023, under the title “Living on the Edge”. IETM Aarhus will be co-organised with our member Performing Arts Platform. Head over to our website for an overview of the dates and more information on the partners involved in the project.
Stay tuned, as very soon you will get to know more about IETM Aarhus!
In their contributions to this publication, authors Katja Praznik, Bojana Kunst and Hans Abbing challenge some of the belief systems and prevailing mechanisms that keep us from reaching fundamental change within the arts sector, and invite us to rethink how we deal with and value labour and time, the prevailing project-approach in the arts and boundaries between artistic and non-artistic work.
Below is a list of all of our publications that we published in 2022. You can download, read or listen to each publication by clicking on the links below:

In 2023, the Creative Europe programme pursues its support to the cultural and creative sectors considering the still challenging context post-COVID. The 2023 work programme comes with a budget of €312 million following 2022; a significant increase. Around €90 million will be allocated to help the cultural and creative sectors recover and become more resilient following the COVID-19 crisis. We can also expect support to the Ukraine, culture, MEDIA and cross sectorial strands and more.
The New European Bauhaus Prizes 2023 are open to applications from candidates of the EU Member States as well as, for the first time, the Western Balkans. The prizes will award up to 30.000 euros for exemplary initiatives showing the link between sustainability, aesthetics and inclusiveness, the three complementary values of the Commission’s initiative that aims at connecting the zero-emissions ambition of the EU Green Deal to the shared living spaces and experiences.
The deadline for submission is 31 January 2023.
