Networking Networking
The network overseen by Onda is driven by a commitment to more efficiently promote contemporary artistic creation and to facilitate contact between artists and performance venues.
Playing an active role in the life of the professional network is also about observing what is being constructed elsewhere, identifying processes of experimentation and encouraging new practices. To develop these initiatives, Onda generally works in a partnership approach.

Artist’s salon

from 01/02/2019 to 28/02/2019

TPAM, Yokohama, Japon

The Artist’s salon are designed while keeping in mind the fact that artists in the early stages of their careers need help making contacts. The specific quality of the salon is that they are articulated around artist-programmer match-ups and function on the principle of mentorship.

Artist’s salon is a delegation of European artists and programmers providing a multidirectional approach. As such the delegations attending these international artists’ events will include European production offices and programmers.

For programmers and artists. Invitational event.
