Project Summary

CARPET (Craft Art and People Together) promotes the value of diversity by means of handicrafts as a social and
economic driver, fostering dialogue between artisans, contemporary art, design and citizens. The project
contributes toward internationalisation by making it easier for artists and artisans to shift location, work together
and gain repute outside their own country,reaching new publics and future markets.The activities promote cultural
dialogue via contact between handicrafts, art and citizens, with a view to providing a society model in which
citizens are made more aware of creative processes via their own participation, and also of the wealth diversity
instills in any society. Such participation enables better evaluation of artistic production, encouraging acquisition
of authentic products while working against the presence of counterfeits and their consequences. The
multidisciplinary joint effort comprises a blend of tradition and technology that brings local and global together.
Exhibitions showcasing results from artists' residencies have been presented together with actions developed by
different group of common citizens working together, all of them by reflecting a creative process based on
dialogue between society, culture, identity and innovation. The combination of coutnries from both north and
south highlights the role of handicrafts as an asset for social and economic development in the framework of the
arts. The presence of a strong Islamic legacy in Europe, especially in secotors associated to crafts, brings
citizens and different religions and cultures closer, thereby helping ensure a peaceful and respectful coexistence.
The project promotes cultural diversity by means of a very participative approach for both artists and citizens of
the different coutnries. The project has given professionas and entrepreneurs working in the fields culture to have
a better approach to audience developent. 5 different encounters have been organized with professionals from
different backgrounds. Besides a publication under the title of 'Let's make it Public' have been published in
English and Spanish and maybe easily downloaded. The publication is a careful selection of articles and works
carried out by European specialists in marketing of the arts and culture.
