# 2 South-East Dialogue: Definitions of Art, Visibility and Funding
For this event, artists, producers and representatives from arts associations and interest groups based in Southern and Eastern European countries will come together to discuss ways of thriving without major state support. As some countries‘ art scenes rely on cooperation with other European partners and receive funding from bodies such as the Norway Grants scheme, artists and cultural organisations have had to find other means to fill the gaps of national funding opportunities. Especially independently working artists or those with a multidisciplinary approach often fall outside limited definitions of state-sponsored art practices. Questions thus arise as how to survive as an artist in those situations, and how advocacy efforts and international collaboration can raise the visibility of underfunded local art scenes.
