Purpose and structure of the meetings
ARTCAFE_ originates as a meeting space, but progressively takes shape as an active platform for research, project development, and production.
The meetings — both in-person and online — are aimed at developing shared artistic projects, including international ones, focused on
THE SPIRITUAL IN ART.
All artistic disciplines are welcome: painting, sculpture, light art, sound art, digital art, video, performance, and hybrid practices.
The process begins with an open brainstorming phase, accessible to all participants, conceived as a space for listening, exchange, and the generation of visions.
From this initial core, the work evolves through a curatorial phase, developed through dialogue between the collective and selected curators and critics, chosen based on their alignment with the emerging projects.
The resulting works, inspired by the theme of THE SPIRITUAL IN ART, will be presented to the public according to shared guidelines defined by the collective in collaboration with the curators involved.
ARTCAFE_ is based on a principle of shared responsibility: each participant actively contributes to the development and dissemination of the projects.
The sustainability of the initiative relies on self-financing models, including the creation and promotion of digital catalogues and communication tools, also aimed at enhancing and supporting the sale of the artworks.
ARTCAFE_ goes beyond dialogue: it moves toward production, co-creation, and the construction of a research network across languages, practices, and geographies.
