Internationale Gesellschaft der Bildenden Künste

The main mission of the IGBK is to improve international artistexchange and the conditions for artistic work. It advocates for strengthening the concerns of artists at political and administrative junctions and promotes intercultural exchange, mobility, and artistsupport. The IGBK represents values such as cultural diversity, international cooperation, and support for artists in their professional development[1][4].

• International Networks: The IGBK is active in various European and international networks, such as Culture Action Europe (CAE), the mobility network On The Move (OTM), and the global artist residency network Res Artis. These memberships enable the IGBK to represent the interests of artists on a global level[1].
• Symposia and Workshops: The organization regularly hosts symposia and workshops on current culturally relevant topics to promote exchange between artists, cultural policymakers, and scholars and to develop forward-looking ideas[1].
• Promotion of Mobility: Through programs like i-Portunus and the information portal touring artists, the IGBK supports the cross-border mobility of artists to provide them access to international networks, markets, and audiences[1][2].

Thus, the IGBK is a central platform for visual artists, advocating for their professional and creative development while contributing to cultural diversity and international cooperation.
