General Information
SAVart was legally registered in the beginning of 2010, members of SAVart are young artists and art historians (6 members). SAVart's members are equally and by their choice involved in projects and activities of the organization. It was registered because of same goals and ideas of improving and building the scene of contemporary art in Bosnia and Herzegovina. As a new organization we are presenting ourselves with multimedia project in May 2010th. Project was applied for funds at regional ministry of culture and sport, federal ministry of culture and sport, European Cultural Foundation and some private sponsors in Italy and B&H. Project will be done with our partners from Italy, collective R.A.M..
Mission and Objectives

Our main goal is to help young artists in production and promotion of their work. By doing this we believe that we can help build the scene of contemporary art in B&H. Through our projects we want to communicate with artist within our country but as well to build networks with young artists from Europe and in this way exchange knowledge and experience.
One of important things, for us, is to make no difference between artists with and artists without formal education in field of contemporary art. We believe that products, ideas and ability to change our environment should be main criteria in art production.
Objectives:
- providing organizational support to contemporary artists
- creating artists networks within B&H and Europe
- building the scene of contemporary art in B&H
- showing abilities and needs of artists in B&H

Main Projects / Activities

Project in process, which will be SAVart's first project, is multimedia project called "Agoraphonia" which has several elements:
- Visual (metal installation, photography)
- Musical (instrument which transfers movement into sound, band from Italy)
- Performing (contemporary dance performance using Agoraphonia instrument as scene instrument)
- Interactive (instrument/installation is placed on city square where passing-by people become involved in the project)
After this project SAVart will continue with some movement installations, video art and projects with B&H artists as well as artists from Europe.
