The Art Prospect Festival showcases innovative art projects that activate public space and facilitate international collaboration and community engagement. Art Prospect invites artists from around the world to transform familiar urban landscapes with temporary, site-specific, and participatory art works and performances addressing local concerns, histories, and cultures. This annual event promotes innovative forms of creative interaction, challenging artists and local residents to reexamine the urban environment, local history and cultural practices.<\/p>\n

Since 2012, more than 250 artists from twenty countries have participated in Art Prospect Festivals of public art in St. Petersburg (Russia), Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan), Baku (Azerbaijan), Tbilisi (Georgia) and Kyiv (Ukraine). In 2020, Festival organizers developed a new on-line and on-site format, bringing together artists and audiences from thirteen countries. The new format made it possible not only to hold the Art Prospect Festival during the COVID-19 pandemic, observing safety standards, but also to significantly expand the audience of the festival.<\/p>\n

CEC ArtsLink closed its office in St. Petersburg and ceased all public programs and events in Russia in response to Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. In line with CEC ArtsLink\u2019s policy on Russia\u2019s war against Ukraine<\/a>, we continue to maintain contact and engage with independent artists from Russia who oppose the war and stand for peace and individual freedom, whose voices are currently silenced or suppressed by the authoritarian government. We do not work with any Russian state institutions, state funded organizations, and the individuals employed by them.<\/p>\n

The next Art Prospect Festival takes place in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, in September – October 2023. A collaboration with the Trash Festival organized by the Bishkek School of Contemporary Art and Tazar Kyrgyzstan, Art Prospect & Trash 5: Interpreting the History of Pollution<\/em>, the Festival brings together more than twenty artists from seven countries.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In 2017, the Art Prospect Festival took place for the first time outside Russia. Presented in collaboration with the Kyrgyz arts organization ArtEast, the International Public Art Festival Art Prospect \u2013 <\/span>Bishkek: Green Zones New Breath<\/span><\/em><\/a>\u00a0opened on September 22 at the Gareev Botanical Garden. Artists from Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine, USA, and Kyrgyzstan presented twenty site specific art works. The Botanical Garden, founded almost a century ago, grows the largest range of species in Central Asia. It is a unique research facility and a precious public space. After the break-up of the USSR, it suffered the fate of many state institutions: lack of finance, the pressures of the new free-market economy and an attempt at \u201cre-profiling\u201d. The artists created site-specific works that used art, design, and architecture to re-imagine and invigorate the Botanical Garden and to bring attention to the need for the preservation of public green spaces in the city. The festival was one of the initiatives supporting the campaign for the Botanical Garden as an example of the defense of public spaces in Bishkek.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In 2016, with Dialogue <\/b><\/i><\/a>as its theme, the festival took place in St. Petersburg\u2019s Admiralteysky district. In addition to being historically rich, the district stands out for its social diversity: communities ranging from the elderly, students, and immigrants to wealthier families. Did these people know and interact with each other? How did their surroundings affect their relations with one another? These were the questions addressed by artists from Russia, the USA, Poland, Switzerland, Norway, and Finland as they created interdisciplinary works.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In Art Prospect 2015’s edition art groups and artists practiced participatory art through \u2018Games\u2019. What historical role do associations of artists in Russia and abroad play? How does contemporary art relate to the concept of the \u2018collective\u2019? And how can local communities with no connection to the world of art be involved in the process of creating a work of art? The festival set out to find points of contact between the collective and the artistic using play to rethink social and aesthetic interactions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The 2014 iteration of Art Prospect curated by US artist and curator Kendal Henry, explored how artists address global environmental issues through public participation and social engagement. The festival organizers sought to increase awareness and inspire action through work that deals with climate change, conservation, energy, resources, biodiversity as well as cultural diversity, language, and population. Working in cooperation with the Posadsky Municipal District administration on the Petrogradsky Region of St. Petersburg, Art Prospect invited local residents to engage with the numerous participatory artworks that were presented in the neighborhood. \u00a0The festival organizers brought together more than 50 artists from Australia, US, Finland, Armenia, Georgia, and Russia.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The second Art Prospect showcased the original works of fifteen artists and art collectives from Russia, the Netherlands and the United States responding to the theme\u00a0The Artist as Urban Gardener<\/strong><\/em>. Using various art forms, including collage, sculpture, video, and performance, the artists transformed Liteiny Prospect into an interactive space for creative dialogue with residents about the urban environment. The Festival\u2019s goal was to mobilize local artists, organizations, and residents to participate in the shaping of their public space, to think creatively about making the urban environment greener and environmentally sustainable, and to consider the relationship between what we consume and how it is created.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
