This name is linked to objectives of this project: to reveal artists what kind of rules exist in art market, how art and management, entrepreneurship are linked and what kind of results collaboration between these field can bring for young artists art managers. Organizers of these project are seeking to provide artist with some management skills, to help managers become more creative and flexible, help to start dialogue between artists and managers, to understand each other better. Thus, main objective of this project is to help young artists and art managers to enter art market, sell art works, to start their own creative business, prepare art projects. And by all these means ensure stable income that they need for making a living from activities they see them selves in, has talent. Because artist often don't have management skills and don't know how to promote them selves and their art they are struggling while trying to make living from arts and facing economical obstacles that prevent them from traveling, participate in various international projects, to get new skills and to fro knowing other cultures. In addition, managers often stress that artist are complicated, closed personalities with which it is hard to communicate and work, they are facing social obstacles. It is intended to include these people into this project, that they could get get new communications, management and entrepreneurship skills and knowledge, become more optimistically and willing to act in due to change their lives. While implementing this project, organizers are focusing on non-formal and informal education methods with which are seeking to give as much practical skills for participants as possible, strengthen theoretical knowledge and to make conclusions by them selves, because in this way participants will be more willingness to use knowledge and skills they got in this project.
