The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has brought global cultural tourism to a standstill, hitting all territories without distinctions and seriously jeopardising thousands of European cultural and tourism professionals' livelihoods. Despite the challenges, the tourism and culture sectors face today a unique opportunity to create new partnerships and collaboration.

Landscape design festival Magenta and its’ partner “Kaunas – European Capital of Culture 2022” have announced an open call for participation in the 2022 edition of the festival and are inviting creators from various fields to propose their ideas for projects to be implemented in Kaunas City in 2022.

The Birmingham 2022 Festival is excited to receive proposals from artists and cultural organisations based in Birmingham and the West Midlands in response to one of three specific creative briefs: NATURE (Green spaces, urban nature and canals), TRAMS (Social transport heritage), BLACK ART (The Black Art Movement in the West Midlands).
