What competences would Vincent van Gogh have needed to sell more of his paintings in his lifetime? It is hard for anyone to answer this question, but for today’s artists and creative sector stakeholders, a new Erasmus + project entitled ‘BidToArt’ will provide tips to help you identify these competences.

This project will focus on the social and educational value of European cultural heritage by supporting individuals involved in its protection and dissemination (such as musicians, painters, woodworkers, textile and other artists) in acquiring and developing basic skills and key competences, using innovative practices in the digital era.

AIM
The BidToArt project aims to boost digital skills to promote entrepreneurship for artists and cultural heritage sectors.

OBJECTIVES
The project objectives are to:

Objective 1

Promote the social and educational value of European cultural heritage, its contribution to job creation, economic growth and social cohesion.

Objective 2

Extend competencies of trainers, educators, social workers and other adult education professionals who work directly with people at risk of social exclusion or in the field of cultural promotion.

Objective 3

Foster innovation of musicians, painters, woodworkers, textile and other artists at risk of social exclusion in order to create new forms of cultural experience, dissemination and new business models with new market potential.
