Promotion
The outdoor arts and contemporary circus sector requires strategic visibility, professional connections, and access to qualified markets. Our promotion activities are designed to position Italian artists within national and international circuits, creating concrete opportunities for circulation, collaboration, and professional growth. Through showcases, mobility programmes, and networking platforms, we connect creativity with those who programme, produce, and support performing arts in public space.

Physical showcases where selected Italian artists and companies present their work to national and international programmers in professional contexts. Through open calls and curatorial support, OUT Showcase creates structured opportunities for direct dialogue between creators and festival directors, both abroad – such as Focus Italia at Cratère Surfaces (France) or Focus Basque Street Arts at Terminal Festival (Italy) – and through standalone events in Italy, building on the legacy of FNAS Showcase with a renewed vision and contemporary approach.
