October 3, 2022 | by Creative Armenia
Creative Armenia is excited to introduce the 24 creative projects that will take part in Artbox Incubator, which provides comprehensive support to creative ideas with potential for commercial success. The creative incubator is developed by Creative Armenia, funded by the European Union in Armenia, and launched in partnership with AGBU Armenia within the framework of the KATAPULT Creative Accelerator Program.
For 12 weeks, the selected teams, representing cutting-edge projects in theater, music, design, and beyond, will be joined by distinguished international and local mentors and keynote speakers to develop various aspects of their creative projects – from market analysis and marketing plan to financing plan and legal rights. After completing the incubation, the 24 incubated projects will be presented to major cultural investors, grant-makers, and sponsors for potential funding.
“We are proud of our new Artbox generation. The strength and range of these 24 projects and their creative teams demonstrate the new wave of power and dynamics they will bring to Armenia’s culture and creativity. We look forward to providing Artbox's fundamental support and pushing them upward in their mission,” said Anush Ter-Khachatryan, Director of Programs at Creative Armenia.
“Katapult Creative Accelerator Program is working to boost Armenia’s creative economy. This means nurturing the full value chain - from idea, to production, to distribution. We’re confident that Artbox is a powerful platform to seed and develop ideas, a selection of which we aim to promote and market through Katapult’s other programs. We can’t wait to see what these seeds blossom into,” said Anna Gargarian, Creative Strategist and Lead at Katapult Creative Accelerator Program.
