About

Kultivera operates international cultural programs that are physical, social and creative; that stimulates and inspires both the artists and the local community. We create cross-border meetings between artists, community and industry that allow different areas to fertilize each other in mutual interaction. Kultivera’s idea is to connect several European cultures, and promote democracy, diversity, quality, innovation, diversity and cultural development. ​The artist is not bound or isolated to a specific location or place, but is inserted in a typical Swedish small-town situations where they can operate internationally through the local.
