Exciting times here in Maastricht. The city is vying for the title of European Cultural Capital. The European Capital of Culture is a city designated by the European Union for a period of one calendar year during which it is given a chance to showcase its cultural life and cultural development. A number of European cities have used the City of Culture year to transform their cultural base and, in doing so, the way in which they are viewed internationally.
This week the City of Maastricht along with a few prominent cultural and academic institutions are hosting a two-day open conference/brainstorming session in order to strengthen their strategy and bid. The event is being held at the soon-to-be former cement plant, ENCI, part of which already has been transformed into Maastricht's newest performing and fine arts space.
Schaefer Communications is exploring a few project options connected with this event.
