URBAN ARTS FESTIVALS AND THE DIMITRIA

For the first time, a one-day congress will chart the organization of the Dimitria in relation to the festivals in other cities and will shed light on its alternative versions and varying goals in the framework of modern culture. Through separate axes and individual subjects, artistic, legal, technical and financial, a dialogue will open on the present and future of the institution, placing the festival-like character of the event at its centre. Artistic directors from other festivals, artists, officials from local government, various intermediaries of the art world, will stress the aspects of a festival that aims towards improving its identity and goals, and to succeed in the greatest possible convergence with the vision of the city’s creative citizens.
