In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, arts, crafts and architecture were all interlinked as a single discipline through the Arts and Crafts Movement (initially in the UK and then throughout Europe), and through the Art Nouveau Movement. Since then the various skills have separated and are taught independently through the modern education system. This project will reverse that trend by creating a new Arts and Crafts Centre where all of these disciplines are once again interlinked, and will be interactive, each influencing the other through various programmes proposed within the project.The project proposes to re-create this initial bridge between art and traditional crafts. As the last are nowadays considered less art – in the canonical definition of the term – but souvenir and intangible heritage, contemporary arts tend to lose the relationship with the roots of cultural identities and with the heritage. The main purpose of the project is to recreate the links between arts and crafts, and bringing heritage building to be our contemporaryBuilt heritage itself, as part of the identity of a diverse Europe, lacks the creative ways of interpreting and valorisation. The Arts and Crafts Centre (ACC) will be established at Banffy Castle, Bontida, it will function as a creative hub that will host permanent/temporary exhibitions and working spaces. We also consider, that there is not enough cooperation at European level between artists, and emerging artists are not offered a fair chance to present themselves and to network.The project will respond to this challenge and will implement traveling exhibitions and arts and crafts residencies in creative hubs - that will involve participants from 8 European countries, thereby reinforcing its cultural diversity, and it will offer opportunities to young and innovative artists/craftsmen/performers to enhance their personal abilities and their international networking/professional career development.
