NE©XT2 - NEW EUROPEAN CREATIVE TALENT
Start date: May 2, 2013,

Outstanding graduate work from European art schools shows a blending of work of high artistic value that incorporates a genuine concern for environmental, political and social concerns. Passionate emergent artists engage with their audiences in different ways and tend to produce user-led content by actively engaging audiences in the creative process. NE©XT2 creates a dynamic pan-European environment of artistic performance/presentation, transnational exchange and cross border professional networking. Led by the Bergen Academy of Art & Design Norway in collaboration with the Faculty of Art of the University of Winchester UK , Utrecht School of the Arts, the Netherlands and the European League of Institutes of the Arts (ELIA), NE©XT2 brings hundreds of emergent artists into the European spotlights and raises the online and live visibility for what excellent art graduates have to offer to an international audience. Essentially the project entails an annual Online selection of excellent graduate work, combined with Live events in Amsterdam, the Netherlands in 2013 and in Umeå, Sweden in 2014, presenting the best graduate work in a range of creative disciplines. Capitalizing on best practice in audience development and social capital produced in and through the arts will be a specific strand resulting in capacity building and an Online Toolkit targeting graduates/students, teachers and the European cultural and creative sector. NE©XT2 will also act as a broker for selected art graduates to present their work at European Capitals of Culture, festivals and at other European cultural spaces. In conjunction with the two Live Festivals, European Art Graduates & Teachers’ Academies will bring together art graduates and teachers in challenging debate. The active, growing online network of alumni resulting from NE©XT1 ensures that entrepreneurial and digital skills, business creation and peer-to-peer mentoring become a distinct focus in all project activities.
