– The Upper Silesian Arts Festival is a multidisciplinary project, always taking place in november, since 1994, in many cities of the Silesian Voivodship. With a solid 15 years of experience, the Festival is a stimulating universe of encounters, exhibitions, presentations, readings and screenings of artists from all over the world. During every edition, over 30 artistic events intend to show the wide spectrum of art vision, arousing curiosity of audiences eager to come into contact with new tendencies and intriguing proposals.
– International Cultural Cooperation: Ars Cameralis is in charge of the cultural aspects of the cooperation with the Voivodship of Silesia partners regions.

2017
Participation in the program funded by EA Grants and Norway Grants representing the contribution of Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, and managed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of Republic of Poland as a Program Operator "Maintenance and revitalization of cultural heritage" available under the Bilateral Cooperation Fund. Available funds were intended to cover the costs of organizing meetings between Polish cultural sector entities and institutions from Donor States (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway). The purpose of the meetings was to strengthen bilateral cooperation and exchange of good practices in the field of culture. The ARTnova Foundation has been cooperated with two Norwegian institutions: Henie Onstad Kunstsenter and the National Museum in Oslo.

2020
In June 2020, the EACEA Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency announced the results of the autumn 2019 call for projects for European cooperation projects under the Creative Europe program (https://lnkd.in/dUWtrts). Among the projects that received funding from the European Commission was also the one that we, as the Artnova Foundation, are part of, ie the project called “MArteLive”.

Considering the fact that only 14 organizations from Poland (Smaller scale European cooperation projects – 3 leaders and 11 partners) received funding in the competition, this should be treated as a great honor (https://lnkd.in/e222zuP). The implementation of the project will contribute to the promotion of Polish artists and Polish culture on the international stage, as well as Poznan itself, as a city that cares about the sphere of culture. As part of the “Polish” edition of the competition and residency, we plan to involve artists from the following countries (except Poland): the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia and Moldova. Other European countries will be served by other project partners.

The project was funded by the Youth in Action Programme.
