NETWORK AND THE TERRITORY

The collective of the ARTeficIO is part of a wider community and a territory of which we are actors and companions of many other actors and organizations.

We are a point of reference for a central and at the same time marginal area of our city whose redevelopment we have taken care of in a perspective of urban , social and cultural regeneration.

We constitute a constant , gentle and dynamic presence, capable of welcoming and presiding over, sensitive and strong, which places relationships , people and freedom in its individual and collective forms at the center.

We are in constant relationship and discussion with our Stakeholders , from local institutions, to individual citizens of the territory, from the network of associations and connected groups, to the individual and collective artists we host and with whom we collaborate, from our Members and Partners, to the staff and to volunteer collaborators.

At l’ARTeficIO associations , organizations , groups and individuals are at home.
