With a keen interest in the future of European culture we invite artists of all different techniques and expectant visitors to be a part of our project EuropeWill – Voices from the Future, a result and vision that has come of many years of experience from cultural cooperation amongst each other and within the Baltic Sea region.

The idea of creating EuropeWill was born during the planning process of Riga’s application for the ECOC 2014. Culture organisations active on the European level were contacted and an idea of a major European project, comprehensive for the whole Baltic Sea region, started to take shape among some of these organisations. Due to its vast experience in European cultural projects, UrbanBaltic took the lead and began concretise some of its ideas and contact potential partners, thus EuropeWill started to take shape. EuropeWill is a travelling exhibition that will start its voyage in Turku and then continue on to Gdansk, Riga, Tallinn,

Malmö and Vilnius. Each stop on the journey will last four days and will consist of exhibitions and two workshops at art galleries and centrally located city squares.. The overarching theme for all workshops is the future of the Baltic Sea region and what possibilities that entails, but each city and each workshop will interpret it differently.Due to the wide artistic background of the six partners and a wish to explore the creativity in the Baltic Sea region, EuropeWill includes fine arts, post-graffiti art, video installations as well as live performances.

A competition will be held in each city in which the winners will have the opportunity to display their art at the following exhibition. The grand finale of EuropeWill will ride the waves across the Baltic Sea on a cruise liner from Tallinn to Stockholm where all the winners and other stakeholders will meet and discuss their visions on what the future for the Baltic Sea region will hold.

Fine arts, especially painting and sculpting, have a feeling of belonging to the past. But paintings can provide interesting comments on contemporary issues, which is something that we want to highlight.

Likewise, sculptures, crafted from metal, wood, stone or glass can highlight aspects in a three dimensional way and draw focus to certain aspects that is unique. We want to revise the general view of sculptures by focusing on their relationship with the surrounding and the wider world.

Photography provides limitless opportunities to capture the history, culture and future of a particular place since all that is needed is a camera and a vivid imagination.

Sound installations can be used to express the voices inside of us, the sounds we hear everyday or it might be the sounds that we long to hear but that we never give any room in our everyday life.

The sounds can heighten and change our feelings as well as our impressions of our surroundings, what was perceived as boring can be highlighted and understood in a new way with sound installations.

With sound as our companion the future of the Baltic will be understood in new and spectacular ways.

Due to the partners’ wide experience of various artistic disciplines, we have chosen to incorporate fine arts (painting, photography and sculpting), post-graffiti art, video installations as well as live performances.

We believe that these disciplines are relevant to our project aims and will be able to showcase the future of the Baltic in an interesting and dynamic way.

In a bustling but quiet centrally located square the sound of live performances will draw everyone’s attention and people will turn their eyes and ears towards the performance on the stage. Songs, dances and theater will draw the attention from the general public usually not attracted by culture. Live performance which is a more lively and interactive form of art are contrasted to nonrenewable art in the urban setting of a city square.

As the name implies, post-graffiti art is not only about graffiti, and our exhibitions will also include murals and yarn bombing.

When it comes to post-graffiti art, the imagination is the only limit!

As post-graffiti art is made to be used outdoors and to reinterpret and reshape urban environments, we believe it is a perfect tool to use in order to get our message across to the general public on the importance of the future of the Baltic Sea region.

The cities are located in different countries, both in ‘Western’ and ‘Eastern’ Europe, surrounding the Baltic Sea on all sides thereby giving credence to EuropeWill representing the different Baltic cultures.

The cities all have a bustling and dynamic cultural sector with support from local and regional authorities, which is proven by Turku and Vilnius being the ECOC in 2011, and Gdansk being in the running for 2016. Riga is the designated ECOC in 2014, where EuropeWill will be included in the official programme. This demonstrates that these cities have a real interest in increasing cultural awareness thereby supporting the sustainability of EuropeWill.

Selection process of artistsIn order to secure a fair and impartial selection, art schools in all the exhibiting cities will assist EuropeWill in the process of electing the artists for our project. The process will be led by RiCul who will set down the criteria and make the final selection, but a jury consisting of three art professors will give their expert opinion on the matter as well as providing some guidance throughout the artists’ creative process. These professors either teach or have a relevant background in the various art disciplines that are included in EuropeWill.

After the final artist criteria are determined, the artists will have four months to complete their entries depicting their vision of A European Future Built on Culture as well as a short paper (approximately 500 words) explaining the background and aim of the entry more in detail. As previously stated, the art professors from the participating art schools will be available to support the artists and give them feedback throughout this process. After all the entries are handed in, the selection process begins and is estimated to run for six weeks. 10 installations, 5 performances, 15 fine arts and 5 street artists from each city will be chosen by the respective art schools to participate in the exhibition in the city that they applied to.

Like the amber that is found around the baLtic sea each of our artists

is unique and precious

ActivitiesThe project has been divided into three stages; phase one, phase two and phase three.

Phase one: Planning and DesignDuring this part we will lay down the foundations of the project. Everything will start with a kick-off meeting in Malmö which will be followed by finalizing the guidelines for the artist criteria, strategies for evaluation as well as exploitations and sustainability.

Online dissemination and evaluation will be on-going throughout the project by way of our website europewill.eu. An online platform will be the primary tool and meeting area for internal activities and documentation of the consortium. In order to ensure a good quality and efficiency throughout the project the partners will meet continuously.

Phase two: Development and EventsThis part is the heart of the project and where most of our external events will take place through workshops and exhibitions in Turku, Malmö, Gdansk, Riga, Tallinn and Vilnius. The events will be held at our associated partners’ galleries and at city squares. The reason for these central locations is because we want as dynamic environment as possible where people go about their daily businesses, thereby reaching people that would not normally visit art galleries and/or cultural workshops.

Event 1: TurkuTurku Modern Performance Company will be the lead partner during this event which is held in cooperation with B-galleria and the Arts Academy at Turku University of Applied Science.

During EuropeWill’s four day long visit in Turku two workshops will be held in B-galleria, the first workshop will deal with Arts From the Baltic: A Finnish Perspective which aims at exploring the current trends in Finnish art along with the ideas and views of Finnish artists conveyed through their artistic work and the future of Finnish art. The second workshop will focus on the more practical Building Art From Scratch where the visitors will be given the opportunity to practice their artistic skills with a lecture on the basic principles of painting, drawing, dancing and drama.

With assistance by the Arts Academy expert opinions will be provided by Taina Eravaara, Head of the Degree Programme in Fine Arts, Tarja Yoken, Head of the Dance Education and Minna Haapasalo. We expect that the workshops will attract 280 people during the four days. The outdoor exhibitions will be held at Gamla Stortorget, a traditional meeting point centrally located in Turku.

Event 2: GdanskDuring our event in Gdansk, Gdansk Art and Cultural Foundation will serve as lead partner for EuropeWill with the assistance of gallery Laznia Centre for Contemporary Art and the Academy of Fine Arts.

Our first workshop at the gallery will focus on the theme of Arts From the Baltic: Polish Influence in a European Perspective where we will take a closer look at the influence that Polish arts and culture, such as traditional painting and the more contemporary live performances, has had on a European context. Light will also be shed on the current Polish arts and culture where participants will be given a deeper understanding of the ideas and perspective of Polish artists. “Building Art From Scratch” is the theme of our second workshop where focus will be on the basics of creating art. Experts will lecture on the principles of the various disciplines of creating art and the visitors will also get the opportunity to put these principles to the test by making artworks with a Polish influence.

We plan that the total number of visitors to each of the workshops will be 300. The outdoor exhibitions will be held at the Długi Targ, a picturesque square with ample space for the artists to showcase their art and installations.

Event 3: RigaRiga Culture Organisation, RiCul, will take lead during the project in Riga and gallery Maksla XO and the Art Academy of Latvia will serve as associated partners.

The first of EuropeWill’s two workshops will focus on Arts from the Baltic: Progression of Latvian art where the participants will get the opportunity to delve deeper into the development of Latvian art after the Soviet Era and the Communist Regime. Focus will also be on examining ideas and perspectives of current Latvian artists and their expectations

of the future. The second workshop will take a more practical direction with the theme “Building Art From Scratch” where visitors will have the chance to explore and practice their skills in painting. There is no right and wrong when it comes to creating art and the aim of the workshop is to let the imagination run free.

Expert opinions will be provided by Assistant Professors Rihards Patersons, Laima Reihmans and Ivars Heinrihsons. We expect that the workshops will attract 280 people during the four days. The outdoor exhibitions will be held at Ratslaukums in the heart of Riga, a popular place for the people of Riga to meet up and enjoy the sun during the summer months.

Event 4: TallinnThe lead partner during the event in Tallinn will be Containers Organization. The Estonian Academy of Arts will assist EuropeWill in providing expert opinions in the form of Mart Kalm, Dean of the Faculty of Art and Culture, Professor Jaan Toomik, Department of Painting and Professor Erik Alalooga, Department of Performing Arts.

The first workshop held at Art Container and will deal with Arts From the Baltic: Estonian Art in Present Europe which will offer a captivating exploration into the current Estonian art scene and the journey of Estonian art and artists to the European level. What is the current situation and how did Estonian art get there? During the following workshop “Building Art From Scratch” the visitors will get the opportunity to practice and explore their talents in the disciplines of dance, painting and theatre. In addition, there will be lectures on the principles of painting and live performance.We expect that the workshops will attract around 300 visitors and participants. The outdoor exhibitions will be held at the Town Hall Square whose medieval setting will provide the perfect backdrop for our contemporary art.

NDissemination and ExploitationThe final phase of the project will principally focus on internal activities and be under the responsibility of UB. The final phase will focus on the promotion of the outcomes of EuropeWill, the follow up of the project, administration tasks and the project report. This phase will also be coordinated by UB.

Dissemination StrategyThe dissemination strategy will focus on campaigns directed at the following target groups:• Artists • Cultural organisations • Museums • Art schools• Media• General publicRepresentatives from city councils, regional, and national authorities in the field of culture, mobility, and international cooperation.

The dissemination will be carried out at the beginning of the project mainly via the tools previously described. An important contribution will come from our media partners and the associated municipalities that will include the events in their official agendas.

Audiovisual material will be accessible to the public through the project website and our social media accounts. Furthermore, the final results will be presented by the consortium partners at festivals and international events in order to share best practices and produce a multiplying effect.

EvaluationQuality control and evaluation of the project’s progression will be a responsibility shared by all partners in the consortium.

The quality control and evaluation of the different project activities as such will be accomplished both by internal evaluation and external auditing. These external auditing will be done with the help of experts in the culture sector, such as members of the city culture committees. In addition, the participating artists will be given the opportunity to evaluate the project, the individual events and their own experiences. The visitors will also have a chance to say what they think of the project in the form of guest books that will be available at every exhibition and workshop.

Apart from a continuous internal evaluation, as every event is followed by a meeting with the Steering Committee, the project outputs and the experiences gathered throughout the project will be assessed through evaluation questionnaires and discussions. TMPC will be responsible for assembling all the evaluation data and the final evaluation report will be available on 31 December 2014.

To ensure a durable impact of the project, the exhibited art will remain in the art galleries for three months. The art will then go on a travelling exhibition around various art galleries in the cities, this will though be under the management of our associated art galleries and outside the framework of EuropeWill..

The project website and online material will remain available after the project to showcase the outcomes of the project. The official website will be kept active after the project has ended where all produced and other assembled material of the project will be accessible for interested parties.

The final event will highlight the outcomes of the project and will lead to the establishment of the Euro-Baltic Culture Network founded by the consortium. The new established network will carry on with future projects and expand including all countries facing the Baltic.
