The sixth annual conference is coming up, this time in collaboration with the European project SPARSE Plus, subtitled: European Rural Touring – The Future.

The Symposium is a continuation of the Culture Get-Together conference, which Nová síť has been organizing since 2020 as a platform for professionals in the field of culture, representatives of local governments, promoters, artists, and the general public interested in live art and cultural cooperation in European regions. This year, for the first time, it will join forces with the international perspective of the SPARSE Plus project to offer a space for discussion not only on cultural cooperation in Czechia, but also in a European context – with a focus on rural areas and culture outside its traditional centers.
The two-day meeting follows on more than seven years of building the international SPARSE Plus project, which aims to strengthen the position of professional performing arts in rural areas. The symposium will present the results of efforts so far and open a discussion on how to create a sustainable and balanced system of support for quality art outside major centers.
You can look forward to prominent international experts in the field of culture – theorists, promoters, artists and other professionals – who will offer stimulating perspectives on the future and direction of cultural events in rural regions, panel discussions, and contributions from artists who will boost your energy.
We are delighted to present the Symposium program – get in the mood with us!
