Networks
PLMF Arts Management steers the development of the following networks:
The NordicBaltic Festival Platform
​
is a network for arts and culture festivals in the Nordic-Baltic area. It aims to foster cultural cooperation in the region, raise the capacity of festivals therein,
and explore the Nordic-Baltic identity in
and through the arts.
(International Arts Associations Congress)
13-17 February 2018 PLMF Arts Management co-hosted 15 umbrella organisations, which work in the cultural sector, for the inaugural International Arts Associations Congress (IAAC). The meeting in Perth Australia was called to explore commonalities and opportunities for collaboration between the participant associations and to build value for the individual members by sharing best practice and innovation in association benefits. As a result it was agreed to draw up an MoU and take forward 5 topics: 1) The Value Proposition / Advocacy 2) Research 3) Programmes / Initiatives 4) Markets / Conferences 5) Digital tools, which we are currently working on
PLMF Arts Management also acts as the EFFE (Europe for Festivals, Festivals for Europe) Hub for Estonia. Among EFFE initiatives is to give out biannual quality labels to festivals in Europe with 1) an artistic commitment and innovative approaches, 2) involvement in their local communities, and 3) European or international engagement.
Since 2022 the EFFEA artist residency calls are open for applications annually.
