Med'arte is an international non-profit network of artistic / cultural dialogue that brings together various companies from the national and international territory and from outside the EU.
Med'arte aims to initiate mobility and collaboration between different members, institutes / bodies of the contemporary art sector.
"Med'arte" was born as a free and independent organism. The supporting partners of Med'arte conceive their action and function as "messengers" of contemporary art in the world, with the aim of enhancing and bringing to Sardinia that central line of development of avant-garde production that has developed in Europe and in the world.
"Mixing" of the arts, contamination, breaking down of disciplinary borders, languages that mix with each other, this is the opportunity that Med'arte wants to offer.
The work of the network is based on various actions that act on a national, international and extra-European level, with particular attention to young companies and young independent artists, but at the same time it creates and keeps alive an intergenerational comparison with artists of consolidated experience in the field of dance, theater, visual art. To this aspect is added the incentive to multidisciplinarity, exchange, monitoring, support of creativity and to artistic production, through the mechanisms of hospitality there in festivals and residencies creative, urban and rural.
Action / Sharing
The activity of the International Network focuses on the contemporary performing arts sector, establishing relations with the cultural regions of the Mediterranean.
Since 2008, a large number of activities and projects, dance festivals and regional dance platforms have been supported. The production and creation and artistic distribution was encouraged; the co-organization of professional training initiatives, advanced training courses and workshops and above all, the hospitality and meeting of hundreds of artists and professionals of contemporary art.
Establishment of a guiding group
The work of Med'arte has its roots since 2008 on the occasion of the 1st edition of the festival call for choreographic writing, Cortoindanza - live choreography in short form.
From this moment on, a "guiding nucleus" is established that acts as an artistic commission, which through many years of experience in the contemporary art sector, identifies young emerging artists from all over the world, implementing the aggregation of arts professionals which aim to create a moment of dialogue and exchange with Europe and the rest of the world.

Territorial intervention strategies
The processes of which Med'arte is an advocate are based on a sustainable cultural development strategy that combines art, entertainment and historical memory, as a fundamental tool for a cultural policy path, within an overall territorial and cultural development plan. Med'arte permanently supports the planning and programmatic intervention of various realities of the national, international and extra-European territory. It opens its extraordinary showcase to create an intergenerational dialogue, addressing artists independent of historical clichés to which they belong, influenced by new trends and avant-gardes, who share a sense of dance as a pure, free and authentic language, through a comparison with artists of great prominence and artistic maturity of the national / international scene, embracing even more than one experience from across the border.
