The Art Boulevard emerged in response to a double-sided problem. On the one hand, many artists and creatives encounter difficulties when trying to find a venue where they can exhibit and perform their work. On the other, many arts venues experience difficulties when programming events and activities, searching for fresh talent or diversifying their creative resources.
The Art Boulevard is part of “Convivir en el Arte” (Coexisting in Art), a project approved by the Crossborder Cooperation Programme Spain-Portugal 2007 – 2013 and confinanced by the European Regional Development Fund.
The Art Boulevard is a network of creative opportunities.
On The Art Boulevard, exhibitors (in this case, Artists and Arts venues), have a space where they can present their work, meet people and embark upon new collaborative projects.
The Art Boulevard is a multidisciplinary space which welcomes creative practitioners whose work spans across all art forms. Although literature, music and visual arts are the most represented, we believe that creativity has no limits, therefore here at The Art Boulevard we offer a space for all creative expressions.
When crowdfunding is not enough to get your project off the ground, The Art Boulevard is here to help you find the services, ideas, content, venues, and other resources you might need to make your arts project a reality.
The Art Boulevard has a large number of registered users and visitors who are ready and willing to help you do just that and it’s so simple to connect with them: just sign up to The Art Boulevard, publish an opportunity and start connecting! And if you want to offer your services to help someone else achieve new creative heights, just visit the "opportunities" section of our Café to see how you can collaborate.
Be proactive and search for already published opportunities, discover Art Lovers and Artists, visit their profile, find out what they’re looking for and start collaborating!
If you are a musician, painter, illustrator, poet, scriptwriter, fashion designer, sculptor, writer or any other kind of creative practitioner and you are looking for a way to promote your work and career, The Art Boulevard is for you!
