Mon-Art: The Monasteries of Art
MON-ART – The Monasteries of Art is a European cultural initiative co-funded by the Creative Europe programme that aims to use public art as a catalyst for social, ecological, and cultural regeneration. Drawing historical inspiration from how medieval monasteries acted as drivers of European civilization and sustainable development, the project establishes a modern, secular network of "monasteries of art" using existing heritage sites across countries like Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria, Albania, and Cyprus. Through a transnational residency programme, MON-ART brings together "Regeneration Artists" to collaborate with local communities and create sustainable, eco-friendly public art projects. In alignment with the European Green Deal and the New European Bauhaus, the initiative aims to bridge the gap between people, nature, and cultural heritage, transforming these historical spaces into living laboratories for community building and creative economies.
