ICAF

The Next ICAF:

30 March through 3 April 2011

 

For those of you who like to plan ahead, the dates for our next ICAF festival have now been confirmed. Starting on Wednesday 30 March, the doors of Zuidplein Theatre will once again open to host the fifth International Community Arts Festival. The entire building - and adjacent spaces in the neighbourhood - will be filled with some of the most exciting examples of community art from around the world, in all disciplines. The theme of the fifth festival will be: The Power of Community Art. The power of the artistic communication. The power of the social effect, on participants, on audiences, at a micro or a macro level. We believe that community art is an incredibly powerful phenomenon that generates amazing, innovative, original art for new audiences in unexpected places. In addition to a unique aesthetic experience, the best community art also offers much much more. What and how differs from neighbourhood to neighbourhood, from country to country, from context to context. ICAF provides you with the opportunity to sample practices from around the globe, interact with artists and participants who operate in totally different circumstances than your own, but who share a common passion and a fundamental belief that powerful, relevant art is right that belongs to everyone.
