ART LAB SERVICES_AIDS FOR EXISTING BUSINESSES IN THE ARTISAN CRAFTS SECTOR FOR THE ACQUISITION OF CONSOLIDATION / EXPANSION SERVICES
This project aims to help existing artistic craft enterprises to acquire business consolidation and expansion services. The project takes its inspiration and continues on from the Art Lab Net project funded with the first Call of the Marittimo PO programme, which led to the creation of four resource centres for innovation in artistic craftsmanship, built in the four regions involved (Sardinia, Corsica, Liguria and PACA). A cross-border network was also created for these centres, which uses a digital platform to connect artisan businesses, providing services relating to innovation for production, communication and marketing. The ALSERV project will identify complementary services to those already developed as part of the Art Lab Net project as well as selecting the relative suppliers, encouraging existing artistic craft businesses to make use of them. The partnership is made up of six partners belonging to the four regions, five of which were already part of the Art Lab Net partnership. Four of these partners are four of the regional resource centres created with Art Lab Net (Carros in the PACA region, Ajaccio in Corse, Sassari at the Academy of Fine Arts in Sardinia, Sanremo in Liguria), which bring together their diverse characteristics and specific traits to allow for the demand for services among artisans to meet with the supply of services that will be developed during the ALSERV project.
