Why participate in Plastforma

PlaStforma is a meeting point for professionals who are trying to unite people and change the world for the better through their creativity.

• Technical equipment (within our capabilities - we discuss additionally with each participant).

Unfortunately, due to the fact that PlaStforma is currently an independent art project, we can’t offer a compensation and reimbursement of transportation and other expenses. But we are searching for financial support together with our participants in different funds, cultural organisations and embassies.

We would also like to draw your attention to the fact that PlaStforma aims to establish new connections with urban communities this season. Therefore we urge those wishing to organize a joint project, volunteers and everyone ready to put their creative energy, efforts and knowledge into this event to send your ideas and offers with the mark "joint project" or "volunteering" to [email protected]
