Park in progress is a European mobility programme (supported by the European Commission -culture programme) which brings together young artists and young creative professionals involved in the various stages of production of an artistic work around a commonproject that seeks transdisciplinarity, A Rich creative experience with artistic creation as means of exchanges and encounters. It is supported by 6 cosignatories on a 3-year period (1st May 2010 – 31st December 2013) : the Arts Council England East-Midland(Nottingham, United-Kingdom), Transcultures (Mons, Belgium), Luxembourgeoise d’Action Culturelle (Luxembourg), ARTos Foundation (Cyprus) and the Pépinières européennes pour jeunes artistes (Saint-Cloud, France). Park In Progress moves around 6 differentplaces in 6 different countries. At every very stop of this itinerary, the artists and young professionals from the creative world take hold of a park or a Green urban zone to create a site specific artistic itinerary , « PARKINPROGRESS », nourished by differentartistic propositions to share with the public. This creation nourishes itself from new proposals established on the encounter with artists and professionals from the hosting country, at every stage of the project.
