Discovering new ideas, trends and talents has become one of the missions of Ars Cameralis, as help in fulfilling the task of promoting Silesian art and culture abroad. The most spectacular manifestations of this field of activity was the presentation of various achievements of the Silesian Region at the World EXPO, both in Hanover as well as in Zaragoza, as well as during the Silesian Days organised in North Rhine-Westphalia, Bratislava, Vienna, Dresden, Budapest, Gothenburg, Miskolc, Berlin and the Art Week in Beloeil. Our Institution has also organised exhibitions and projects promoting artists originating from Silesia (including exhibitions in Milan, at MoMA Museum of Modern Art in New York or during the Venice Biennale), as well as the presentation of the North Rhine-Westphalia Region in Upper Silesia. The Institution also collaborates with recognised and respected Silesian festivals: Off Festival and Tauron Nowa Muzyka.<\/p>\n
Since 2013 Ars Cameralis is actively involved in the organisation of\u00a0Industriada\u2014\u00a0A\u00a0Celebration of Industrial Monuments Route, organising multimedia events in the\u00a0Katowice-Szopienice Zinc Mill.<\/p>\n
Ars Cameralis was also a partner of the TOOL QUIZ project, co-financed by the EU under the INTERREG IVC program, representing Silesia in this interregional project. Our Institution has participated for three years in the identification process highlighting good practices in the field of creative arts economy and cultural industries in seven European regions. Another EU-funded project was dubbed Design Silesia, mainly organised by the Voivodeship Marshal Office. As part of this project Ars Cameralis prepared the Mobile Design Containers \u2014 presentations of the best examples of Polish design \u2014 as well as the solar powered bench project \u2014 Lightbench. We have also issued a number of publications, including the English version of Silesian Design Icons.<\/p>\n
The extraordinary cultural potential of Upper Silesia is unearthed further thanks to our Institution\u2019s publishing activities, which has garnered numerous awards across Europe (including German Design Awards, European Design Awards, \u015al\u0105ska Rzecz and the Polish Advertising Creators Club Award). So far our publications include several volumes of poetry, catalogues, music albums and a graphic novel devoted to Wojciech Korfanty.<\/p>\n
