Description
Residencies at BASIS Vinschgau Venosta and four new satellite locations invite artist collectives to work with local communities, cultural initiatives, and spaces to iteratively develop a new regional creative network founded on sustainability and rural-urban connectedness. Unfolding over a four-year period, the programme aims to develop cohesive conceptual models for developing regional and community-based creative networks that also strive to support EU sustainability and environmental goals.Hypothesis

- Number of artist collectives in residencies
- Number of cultural spaces joining the network
- Geographic reach of the network
- Number of successful urban-rural linkages and collaborations
- Diversity of communities impacted by and integrated into the network
- Development of a generalizable model for building similar networks elsewhere
