The main aim of the project is to reveal the relationship between the modern and the traditional art in the fields of applied arts and design. The project wants to study the artistic tradition in European countries and to show how these ancient motives, symbols and techniques influence some contemporary artists. This project will demonstrate how a common heritage in Europe can participate in a better historical understanding and intercultural dialogue among European citizens. The project wants to show the actual existence the tradition on the contemporary applied arts and design in the partner countries. Accordingly we do not intend to organize traditionalist folklore activities, but such traveling contemporary art program series that are based on the cultural traditions of the partner countries and at the same time reflect the everyday reality of our world today. First of all we want young artists to participate in the project, because we are interested to know what cultural identity and tradition mean to them, or rather how it appears in their art and their artistic products.
