European Prospects is a 24 month project involving a collaboration between key arts organisations in Wales, Germany, Lithuania and France to create new platforms for photographers and lens-based artists from across Europe to produce and exhibit their work, and through this activity to articulate the diversity of identity and experience in an enlarged European Union. The core partners are Ffotogallery in Cardiff, Fotosommer in Stuttgart, the Union of Lithuanian Art Photographers Association in Kaunas (known as the Lithuanian Photographers Association) and Le Chateau d’Eau in Toulouse, all based in European cities that have undergone major economic and social transformation. Each of the four core organisations has an established network of associate partners in different parts of Europe, and through the European Prospects programme this wider network will be extended and formalised to ensure reach, impact and sustainability beyond the life of the project.The basic proposition is for the partners to jointly plan and deliver an integrated programme of residencies, workshops and symposia, commissions, exhibition and publishing opportunities to enable artists and cultural professionals from across Europe to work internationally and creatively interact with their peers. Each of the four core organisations will host elements of the programme, working co-operatively within the European Prospects framework. In parallel, the partners will establish a new online platform, Prospectus, enabling photographic artists from across Europe to upload portfolios of work and have them reviewed by an international team of curators and programmers with a view to potential inclusion in exhibitions, projects and festivals. The online platform will also build awareness of the project activities and engage pan-European participation, and promote and disseminate information on wider opportunities for artist mobility across Europe.
