About Winter Edition 2023

Our times are presenting their specific challenges continuously, and changing in weight. The turn of the year often serves to make us more aware of such challenges and start the new year with good intentions. Anniversaries can have the same effect. EFA’s 70th anniversary Arts Festivals Summit in Yerevan in 2022 brought together thinkers that know more about the new relationships between the arts and cities, the business and activism.

This Eye-to-Eye magazine catches some of the perspectives shared in Yerevan, and speaks about new beginnings.

Happy New Year!

EFA Secretary General
