A "CREATIVE EUROPE" PROJECT TO SUPPORT EMERGING ARTISTS AND YOUNG CREATIVES IN THEIR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
"Breaking the Patterns" is a Creative Europe project that promotes the development of talent, professional growth and the generation of new job opportunities in cultural and creative industries.
1.WHAT
72 participants from Ireland, Portugal, Greece and Spain connect their work in 8 self-managed exhibitions in Dublin, Lisbon, Crete and Seville.
2.HOW
Breaking the Patterns is dedicated to empowering emerging artists and creative professionals in the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI), fostering innovation, talent, and growth while expanding career opportunities. By supporting 72 participants in independently organising multimedia exhibitions, we aim to build their expertise in the professional art world and dismantle barriers to accessing CCI, particularly for those from marginalised or disadvantaged backgrounds. Through international exhibitions (both physical and digital) and a tailored creative toolkit, we strive to overcome obstacles such as financial insecurity and limited opportunities to showcase work. Partnering across Ireland, Greece, Portugal, and Spain, we champion cultural exchange and integration, enhancing social engagement, intercultural dialogue, and innovation within the creative sector.
