Kulturanova 🇷🇸

The Association Kulturanova was unofficially founded in 1999, and in 2001 we were officially registered in Novi Sad. The organization was founded as the umbrella organization of all those young people who were tired of the closure of the then existing institutions and who, due to lack of experience, space, financial and other resources, could not realize their creative potential in art. Over 200 young people were present at the Founding Assembly! The organization still collaborates with many of them. How the organization was founded and the reason why it was founded, largely determined its future activities.

Our mission: Kulturanova initiates intercultural and intersectoral dialogue in society, encouraging the creativity of young people through art education, production of cultural content and the improvement of public policies in the field of culture and youth.

Our vision: Novi Sad is open to creating a new culture. For us, a new culture is a process of building new social relations that encourage dialogue, self-examination and critical thinking.

Kulturanova works in four areas, through its four programs:

  • Teatarnova – theater and performance,
  • Muzikanova – support for young music creators,
  • Medianova – audio-visual and media content,
  • Futuranova – innovation in cultural and creative industries.

During the previous years, we have implemented numerous international projects that has been supported by: European Commission, Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Serbia, ECF / European Cultural Foundation, Development Agency of Serbia, City of Novi Sad, Province of Vojvodina, IPA Interreg Funds, Swedish Institute, International Organization for Migration (IOM), Visegrad fund, Trust for Mutual Understanding and Fulbright program, Center for Regionalism, National Endowment for Democracy, Goethe READ Multilingual Fund, Regional Youth Cooperation Office (RYCO,  Heartefact Fund, Horizon Europe program.
