ABOUT THE PROJECT

E-ART (Artists Influence – Support the Co-Creation, Circulation, and Promotion of Sustainability and Climate Change in Europe) is an EU-funded (Erasmus+) initiative involving a consortium of partners working together to empower artists by enhancing their professional and personal development.
