At the current moment, and the unstable global context , we think that it is necessary to focus on building a program structure concerned with positive interaction with the general context and try to link experiences together in order to come up with disciplined artistic products and professional artists.
This version of the program focuses on two main concepts, development and knowledge, interpreted in three sections THE INCUBATION LAB that focuses on giving a full package of support for creations in development, this support includes several components such as artistic mentoring, technical advice. fund raising, building artistic dossiers, and promotional help..

The 3rd section in the program is the MICRO-FUND, which supports artists financially with small amounts that helps in covering the cost of living and per-diem directed to artists who have opportunities to reside abroad or participate in international festivals.
