Building an Artist Community
OUR
CONCEPT_
Co-net an artist community that hosts residences around contemporary visual art. Our mission is to create a dynamic and collaborative community that brings together artists and international cultural organizations within the Valencian Community.
MISSION_
Co-net is a non-profit organization that wants to act as a platform that promotes artistic and cultural exchanges, in which both artists and organizations or people from the field of art, education and / or culture, international participate.
The objective is to create spaces that favor collaboration, discovery, creation, and of course the interaction and dissemination of contemporary visual art. These spaces are created around artistic residences that are born of agreements with different institutions that want to favor contexts of experimentation and innovation.
The international character of CO-NET is compatible with the local level since it seeks in each project that its participants have an active role in the development and cultural promotion in the locality or community in which they act, with the desire to participate, to through art, in a positive social transformation.
