On Cross-Boorder Collaboration in Performing Arts (2026)
by Elena Polivtseva
The Performing Arts Coalition (PAC), of which EDN is a founding member, has released a new policy paper addressing the evolving landscape of international collaboration in the performing arts.
It provides policymakers and funders with an overview of key trends, challenges and needs shaping cross-border artistic cooperation today. The paper identifies the most pressing gaps in current funding systems and outlines the support needed to keep international collaboration viable, equitable, and sustainable.
The document also offers forward-looking recommendations for reimagining and strengthening international collaboration in the performing arts in the realities of 2026.
