Creative Catalyst

Are you an aspiring artist, creator, or cultural worker who has recently arrived in Sweden? Join us for Creative Catalyst, a two-day intensive event designed to equip you with essential tools, networks, and insider knowledge to thrive in the Swedish cultural scene! 🎨🌍

Many talented cultural practitioners face barriers—not for a lack of skill, but due to limited networks and an understanding of local structures. Creative Catalyst is here to bridge that gap!

What to Expect:

• Clarity: Gain insights into how the Swedish system works, including funding, grants, unions, and legal frameworks.
• Visibility: Learn effective pitching techniques and how to present your artistic practice in the Swedish professional context.
• Community: Connect with established institutions, independent cultural actors, and fellow creators to build lasting professional relationships.

Program Highlights:

• Day 1: Cultural Orientation

  • Dive deep into the Swedish cultural landscape and professional processes.
  • Participate in "Mentor Speed-Dating" with experienced industry professionals.

• Day 2: Building Your Place

  • Engage in practical workshops focused on pitching, professional working conditions, and a Co-Creation Lab to inspire new collaborations.

• Evening Program: Enjoy a networking dinner featuring "Open Mic" sessions where participants can showcase their work! 🍽️🎤
