Reshape EU Network

The aim of RESHAPE is to imagine an alternative to the European arts ecosystem by rethinking its instruments and collaborative models, placing them in line with artistic and social innovation and the principles of fairness, solidarity, geographic balance and sustainability. RESHAPE will develop and test an experimental bottom-up method to construct new narratives and new instruments that are appropriate to the evolutions of the arts sector and the society. By increasing the knowledge, competences and reactivity of intermediary organisations in relation to today’s artistic experimentations, RESHAPE aims to influence public policies and integrate future policy instruments.

Within the scope of RESHAPE, Οnassis AiR organized a 3-day workshop on “Fair Governance Models: How to make open, inclusive and flexible governance models?” with RESHAPE’s partners, artists and other art professionals, in Αthens in May 2020.

The tangible results of this multi-year partnership are presented in “RESHAPE: A Workbook to Reimagine the Art World”. The Workbook, which takes the form of an online as well as printed edition, gathers instruments for transition towards a new, fairer arts ecosystem.
