INTRODUCTION
EDUARTE is an exchange programme between Spain
and the Netherlands in the field of contemporary
art and education. “Education” and “Art”
therefore are the two basic elements
constituting the objectives of the programma.
Eduarte is based in Amsterdam with an office in
Salobreņa (Granada). Eduarte is financed from
various sources in a combination of art sales,
formal national and regional subsidies and
private sponsoring. 
Eduarte manages and endorses on a daily basis a
network of professional artists, mueums,
galeries and public organisations in the fields
of culture and education. The programme desires
to promote the exchange of contemporary art
between Spain and the Netherlands and to
stimulate exhibitions and presentations in both
countries.
In addition to the exhibitions of exchange in
both countries, Eduarte stimulates the education
on contemporary art by
means of workshops and lectures for art teachers
and by
means of educational programmes for youngsters
and adults.
At the moment about 30 professional artists in
both countries participate in Eduarte.
In Spain Eduarte collaborates with 7 municipal
councils, 3 galleries, a museum in Galicia and
moreover in Madrid with the Photo School EFTI
and the Faculty of Modern Arts of the Univesity
of Complutense.
In the Netherlands exhibitions of Spanish
artists are organized in 3 places in Amsterdam,
in a gallery, in the Photo School ‘Nederlandse
Foto vakschool’ and in a church in Durgerdam.
Moreover Eduarte collaborates with galleries in
Zwolle, IJlst and Leiden.
Every year some 5 exchanges with 10 exhibitions
in Spain and the Netherlands are organized.
All events in 2010 are presented in
www.eduarte.eu. Here also a survey of
events in the preceding years can be
