OPEN ART WEEK 2019

International independent art week

Italy / Perugia 5 -13.10.2019
Tunisia / Tunis 19 – 27.10.2019
Ukraine / Odessa 14 – 21.11.2019

OPEN ART WEEK is a project created to connect independent artists and art spaces around the world.

The festival travels from one city to the other, hosted by a network of art spaces collaborating to welcome and exchange artists with peer-organization globally. The protagonists of OPEN ART WEEK are cinemas, theaters, art centers, residencies, studios, museums, galleries…that every year contribute to an artistic program open to the most innovative and relevant practices, disciplines and cultures of our times.

OPEN ART WEEK 2019 will take place in Perugia (Italy), Tunis (Tunisia) and, en première, in Odessa (Ukraine). Transnistria (Moldova), will be the special guest of this edition. Encounters and collaboration will be the main themes of 2019, promoted thanks to the organization of over 10 residences, art co-productions and workshops open to the public and professionals. More than 30 public and independent art spaces collaborate in the participating cities to feature over 60 artists; 30 multidisciplinary events and activities. A special attention will be devoted to alternative urban art productions in the field of music, video-art, photography, comics and performance created by artists under 30 years old.

OPEN ART WEEK does not propose a common curatorial theme, but aims to explore, welcome and map emerging cultural topographies, giving direct voice to the independent spaces and artists, partners of the project.

OPEN ART WEEK was launched in 2018 and today brings together an international community of over 40 independent art spaces and over 100 artists. Initiated by the non-profit organization REA (Italy), the 2019 edition will be organized in collaboration with the Rambourg Foundation in Tunisia and MoOMA – the Museum Of Modern Art of Odessa. The network is open and conceived to grow progressively integrating new cities and artists each year.
