ARTISTIC "ARGILLA" (CLAY) ACTIONS FOR EU CERAMIC NETWORK
Start date: Dec 1, 2012,

The Arginet Project intends to achieve the goals mentioned in the Culture Programme. Particularly, the main aim of the project is to promote dialogue and intercultural exchange in Europe, through a system of innovative and sustainable actions of cultural collaboration and transnational mobility of the cultural operators, in the field of ceramic art.These actions will be developed within high level existing events, encouraging relations, exchanges and joint participation of artists, craftsmen, cultural animators (potter’s wheel operators, open-air kilns, animation activities for children, theatre etc.) in the field of ceramic arts and crafts.In Europe different high level events in the field of ceramic art’s promotion and circulation are carried out. However, the artists involved and the public participation still remains local. As a consequence, they do not implement the transnational mobility and circulation of works and knowledge needed to attain the necessary cultural integration in the European field. On the other hand, since 2008 some of these events have started a mutual collaboration, carrying out occasional but worthwhile exchange actions.Arginet aims to implement a programme of interchange and mid-term development of actions, fostering the presence of artists and ceramic animation at European level (potter’s wheel operators, open-air firing of ceramics works, workshops for children or people in social distress etc.) in the field of this existing events network.The partnership, based on steady relations between participants (Faenza Italy, Aubagne France, Gmunden Austria, Argentona Spain, Boleslawiec Poland), has as main objective the enlargement and involvement of partners from other countries with a significant heritage in ceramic culture (i.e. Romania, Portugal, Czech Republic, Finland) and whose geographical position hampers integration and participation to actions.
