A European home for writers, artists & publishers
The Art & Creativity Consortium is an independent, Europe-based network for writers, poets, translators, literary magazines, art galleries, academies and individual creators who want their work to circulate across borders—without losing its local character.
Why ACC?
We live in a continent rich in languages, small presses and independent spaces—yet most of us work alone, underfunded, and invisible outside our own city or language.
ACC exists to change that in a simple, concrete way:
- by linking independent creators and institutions across Europe,
- by sharing resources—editing, translation, design, distribution
- and by building common projects that keep the focus on art, not on algorithms.
ACC is non-profit, rooted in Europe, and open to the world.
Who is ACC for?
If your work belongs to the written word, the visual arts, or the spaces where both meet, there is a place for you here.
- Writers & Poets – emerging or established; any language; prose, poetry, essay, drama.
- Translators & Editors – those who carry texts across borders and give them their final shape.
- European and International Literary Magazines & Small Presses – print or digital, all languages, all genres.
- Art Galleries & Cultural Spaces – independent venues showing contemporary or classic work.
- Art & Writing Academies, Workshops & Schools – from formal institutions to informal ateliers or groups.
- Individual Creators – illustrators, photographers, performers, book artists and anyone whose work touches publishing and art.
- Friends and art aficionados
If your project belongs in a reading room, a gallery, or on a small stage, you belong in ACC.
