Re:Create Europe

The European Alliance of Academies launches the four-year project “The Art of Resilience and Resistance: Empowering artists and cultural professionals tackling new challenges in Europe”, in short: Re:Create Europe, supported by a large-scale grant under the Creative Europe programme of the European Union. The project will run from 2026 to 2029 and is implemented by a consortium of European art academies and cultural institutions.

Re:Create Europe is not only a support programme, but a clear institutional response to the growing pressures on artistic freedom and cultural autonomy across Europe. Artists and cultural professionals are increasingly working under conditions shaped by war and aggression, political instrumentalisation, economic precarity, ecological collapse, and shrinking civic space. In this context, resilience cannot be understood as adaptation alone, but as a cultural, ethical, and civic responsibility.

Through a combination of mobility programmes, blended learning formats, onsite residencies, digital mapping, and international conferences, Re:Create Europe aims to empower artists and cultural professionals across disciplines and regions. The project strengthens transnational solidarity, supports artistic practice under conditions of crisis, and fosters exchange between institutions, practitioners, and policy-oriented cultural actors.

The partner consortium consists of Arts Council Malta, Croatian Association of Fine Artists, Academy of Fine Arts and Design Bratislava, Círculo de Bellas Artes de Madrid, National Academy of Arts Sofia, National Academy of Arts of Ukraine, Romanian Association of Contemporary Art, Society of Hungarian Authors, Villa Decius Kraków and Akademie der Künste (Berlin).

Since its founding in 2020, the European Alliance of Academies — today comprising 72 art academies and cultural institutions across Europe — has been actively advocating for artistic freedom through public events, declarations of solidarity, artistic cooperation, and cultural policy engagement. Re:Create Europe builds on this shared commitment and translates it into long-term, practice-oriented collaboration.

Re:Create Europe marks an important next phase in the Alliance’s work to defend the conditions under which free artistic expression, critical reflection, and cultural exchange remain possible in Europe.
