Enhance long-term solutions where expertise and good practices can become solid pathways and drivers of a shared economy. Rooted in resilience and solidarity, A2B wants to be a platform both virtual and human where independent live artists and business can meet to create and generate survival and mutual support.
A2B is a ToolKit, it operates as a matching space, upskills artists to develop transversal skills that can be fundamental to businesses. A2B generates multipathways financial tools grounded in ecosystemic and holistic practices keeping in mind the geography of space and place, artists and business. Education, glocal practices, operability of technological visions and implementations. A2B wants to develop policies and be present in the conversations that can make a long-lasting change for the Live Arts Cultural and Creative Industry of Italy with the objective of European Inclusion and Innovation.
The Pandemic and the aftermath of COVID19 left Italian live artists and cultural organisation with little to no funding. In some cases, artists translated their work adapting it for web and streaming usage of which a small percentage gained revenue from it. Yet, culture and creativity during the lockdown were "spaces of survival" that kept all of us alive and emotionally enriched. COVID19 brought forwards the reality of the Italian cultural sector and its lack of a system of protection, development, integration and revenue of such.

Our ispiration
In a Pan-European geography Business to Arts is a well established practice that supports the artists and business to create alliances and support. Italy does not have this approach.We got inspired by other European cases and we want to bring the flow of culture in business to Italy.Thanks to Enrico Pastore, critic of performance and theatre, we realised that this must be done now!
Pastore is capturing through articles the Italian situation called "Lo Stato delle Cose", we want to be able to translate it and to share it. It is an important study on the Italian cultural industry.
https://www.enricopastore.com/lo-stato-delle-cose/We developed our thought when directing Theatre Espace and becoming Espace Productions.
