ArtKontakt emerged from the growing demand for establishing a dynamic and contemporary cultural scene in Albania. We foresee to be a primary actor of this scene through the promotion and implementation of cultural exchanges and artistic initiatives in various fields, such as: history, art, environment, tourism and archaeology. ArtKontakt will also assist interested bodies in improving and furthering the field of art management in Albania. To achieve its mission, ArtKontakt collaborates with various public cultural institutions, foundations and associations. ArtKontakt aims: to organize national and local activities in the fields of art and culture; to create a international cultural circuit that is characterized by the common exchanges and initiatives in cultural and art promotion; to promote the Albanian cultural heritage; to promote the cultural debate in Albania through the organization of conferences, meetings, round tables; to co-produce films no commercial & artistic documentariesMain Projects / Activities
