The European Art Partner Project is one of the key activities of the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion. The project is addressed to an art student, a person experiencing poverty and an NGO (non-governmental organisation) in each Member State.

 

The NGO partners will create a link between the student and the person experiencing poverty and will facilitate their first meeting and follow-up. Then, the student and the person experiencing poverty will get behind the camera and take some shots, so the photographs will really be co-produced. The theme of this European project is (IN)VISIBLE.

 

All the photographs will be displayed on the website of the 2010 European Year For Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion and fifty of them will be exposed in Brussels at the end of November 2010. All the photographs will be co-signed by the two authors. If the photo is selected, the authors will gain visibility at European level and will receive a participation certificate, the exhibition catalogue and postcards printed with the photo

 

Deadline to register is 6 July 2010.

Deadline to submit pictures is 15 October 2010
