Sweden Festivals, together with the Uppsala International Guitar Festival and the European Festivals Association, invites you to a seminar concerning EFFEA (European Festivals For Emerging Artists) and Festivals role in current cultural policy with opportunities for networking and initiating collaborations. In round 2 of EFFEA, the Uppsala International Guitar Festival has been approved by EFFEA as one of 50 project-leading festivals engaging emerging artist Uppsala Guitar Quartet in residency, which, among other duties, plays Friday the 29th. Now we aim for even more festivals to become project leaders in the next round, which will be announced in January 2024. The target group is festival leaders and concert organizers. Support for travel and accommodation can be obtained. Contact erik@swedenfestivals.com for more information.The cultural debate is in full swing and Sweden Festivals has recently pointed out to the Swedish Art Council the importance of cultural festivals being recognized in the awarding of grants. At the same time, the country's art/cultural workers and performers are questioned and lumped together as a spoiled cultural elite. In Norway, it is said that cultural life balances on a knife's edge. There are many issues to discuss and debate and with a common voice we can be heard better in the debate.
When; Thursday 28 September at 13.30-16.30
Place; Concert & Congress
In addition; Opening of the Uppsala International Guitar Festival at 18.30
Target group; Members and festivals who want to broaden their network, engage emerging artists or who want to broaden their international collaboration network
