The ARTISTIC project implemented in the 2017-2020, aimed to improve cooperation between cultural operators, citizens and financial operators and supported them in valorization of the intangible cultural heritage and in searching for solutions on how to make local cultural projects sustainable. To reach this objective, ARTISTIC partnership developed a strategy with a toolset and services dedicated to the cultural sector. The project helped also to create synergies of local actions from a content-related and financial point of view, particularly focusing on crowdfunding options.

As a result of the work of 12 partners, in 8 CE regions 9 ICH Desk Points were created, as elements of permanent local structures supporting creators and entities working for the preservation, development, promotion and financing of intangible cultural heritage. The Local Action Plans created for the ICH Desk Points and the Memorandum Of Understanding officially signed by the members of the Local Working Groups established in each partner country to support initiatives in the field of ICH, ensure the continuity of our activities in the future.
