Launch of New European Project “RE-MARK”: Art and Culture revitalizing rural farmers’ markets and communities.

Budapest, 16 Avril, 2026 – The official launch of the European project RE-MARK will take place in Bertinoro (IT) on 16th – 17th April 2026, marking the beginning of an ambitious initiative aimed at triggering systemic change in how culture is produced, accessed and sustained in rural territories across Europe. In contexts marked by demographic decline, social fragmentation and cultural underinvestment, the project proposes a radically new use of a familiar infrastructure: the rural market. By transforming rural farmers’ markets into Rural Creative Markets intended as hybrid spaces that combine artistic creation, local economies, community engagement and cultural storytelling, RE-MARK introduces a replicable, place-based model for culture-driven rural regeneration.
