Alert Dispatch: Issue 2 Delivered

Yo, folks! We're hyped to share all the juicy details from the latest developments in the E-ART project!

We recently had our Mid-Term International Meeting in the beautiful city of Matera, Italy, on October 23-24, 2024. Over two action-packed days, we tackled some serious project milestones, such as:

Progress Check-in: We assessed our recent progress and the outcomes from the recent training sessions in Greece.
Agenda Setting: We mapped out a timeline for kicking off project initiatives.
Content Creation: We got movin' on crafting a Material library and Artist profile Gallery for the E-ART platform.
Digital Residencies: We brainstormed ideas for our unique digital residencies.
Awareness Push: We went over strategies to promote eco-friendly art practices through global awareness campaigns.

The meeting sparked keen interest among the participants, who were all fired up about the progress made and confident about the project's direction. 🔥

What's Already Been Accomplished? 🏆

We've cooked up the Sustainable Best Practices Handbook, available for browsing online on our website!
We've hosted discussion sessions and roundtables in each partner nation, chatting about eco-skills in the art sector and the importance of sustainability in art.
Post-research, we kicked off a productive collaboration between various professionals to develop the modules for our 'Sustain Art Curriculum'. This puppy will soon be going live online! Through the curriculum, we aim to jolt the art world towards sustainability by offering both theoretical and practical materials.
While our tech team was busy, they built more than just the website – they created a platform boasting a Material Library, an Artist Gallery, and a sharing space that'll be essential for our E-Residency! 💻
We held the "E-ART Training" in Thessaloniki, Greece, where we dived into testing each module of the "Sustain Art Curriculum"!

Lookin' Forward 📅

As we march ahead, we're focusing our efforts on specific tasks, such as launching our global Awareness Campaign through content on our social media channels. Additionally, we're polishing up the Art platform by collecting sustainable materials and artist profiles. We're also planning the E-Residency – a top-notch, 5-day online residency program where all partners play a role. The online residencies are going to be the ultimate knowledge-sharing platform, bringing artists, scientists, and other stakeholders together for a mind-blowing experience. 🌐

In addition to the residencies, we've got art workshops lined up, which'll provide fantastic opportunities for professionals and emerging artists alike to network, collaborate, and experiment with eco-friendly techniques and materials. Participants will walk away with extensive knowledge about sustainable art, the use of eco-friendly materials, and the creation of new projects. 🌍🎨💚🌱
