The network, which received funding from the Short-term network funding programme in 2024, has recently had its first assembly in Vilnius, Lithuania, hosted by the Contemporary Art Centre. The partners shared knowledge and experiences on topics such as: precarious work conditions in the cultural sector, the economy of visual arts today and tomorrow, the actionable climate strategies for artists’ unions, the uniting of art workers with political movements, and the commoning of diversity. The partners valued the possibility to engage with partners of different scales and modes of working – artists’ unions and associations, grassroots initiatives, and art workers’ unions and networks.
Network funding is part of the Nordic-Baltic Mobility Programme for Culture, which strengthens artistic and cultural cooperation in the Nordic region and the Baltic countries.
