We support young talents and develop new formats, creative spaces and laboratories so that they can succeed in the global competition of ideas in a digital society.

Focus Ukraine 
Art Crossing Borders has been in Ukraine since 2015 and is proactively looking for young artists and projects there. We have made many friends there and promote unique personalities and groups. »more
Personally, I am devastated to see our friends and their lives as pawns in world politics. We are actively in contact with everyone and arrange accommodation on a private level. Support our action »Sing with us Europe!, in which choirs from Ukraine join their European counterparts to sing the Ukrainian national anthem for the unity of Europe #UnitedEUkraine.
Thanks to all who help us! Hold on and together! Only together can we get through this infinitely dark time!
Who we are
Art Crossing Borders e.V. is a registered non-profit association. It was founded to promote and network outstanding artists nationally, as well as internationally, to find solutions to the challenges facing new talent today.
The goal of the association is to align all funding structures to support artists unbureaucratically and concretely where they really need it. We want to believe in them as people, trust them, help them implement unusual, new concepts and ensure that they survive in an era of digitalized society and global competition. »more
Funding programs
Art Crossing Borders supports artists, initiatives and groups. Together with you, we develop projects such as new spaces for development, formats or initiate international encounters.
UHAP – Ukranian Artist Health Programm
The Ukrainian Artist Health Program (UHAP) is a nonprofit initiative by Art Crossing Borders that provides Ukrainian artists with free psychological counseling and therapy in collaboration with our partner NeuroFlex.
Igor Fedirko
A Ukrainian director, actor and puppeteer. He was born in 1990 in Korsun-Shevchenkivskyi, studied at the National Karpenko-Karyi University of Theater, Film and Television in Kiev, and in his younger years is already the chairman of the National Association of Ukrainian Puppet Theaters UNIMA and a two-time winner of the prestigious Pectoral Award.
Moravski Chamber Choir
An amateur choir founded in 2017 with a strong community made up of people from all backgrounds. Choir director Olena Radko has welded the colorfully mixed group together into a well-balanced body of sound, which with its fine sound makes you forget again and again that there are no professionals on stage, but amateur singers and amateurs, some of whom can’t even read music.
B.A.A.M.
“Basic Artist for Artist Management” is the answer to a whole new set of challenges facing artists. Self-promotion on social media is the new standard for every art form today. B.A.A.M. hires industry professionals to do this grunt work for you.
Second Truth
Under the label “Second Truth” artists, filmmakers, musicians and journalists from all over the world deal with social and political hotspots of our time in short videos. The resulting music films do without words and are a mixture of music clip and short film.
Tinyova Shadow theater
A theater group founded in wartime, consisting of very young, talented and highly ambitious actors and directors who open up art, normality and spaces for thought to their compatriots in the most difficult times. They do this under the most difficult conditions imaginable in a country where there is no work and no prospects with an admirable dedication, commitment and quality.

Sing with us, Europe!
Art has been silent long enough!
The Moravski Chamber Choir would like to create an online video along the lines of >>Illia Bondarenko YouTube Video , singing the Ukrainian national anthem together with choirs from all over Europe. We would like to send a strong signal against war and for unity and cohesion. They want to remind the leaders of the EU to listen to the voices of the people and fulfill their desire to be a part of the European family! Help us make this project a reality!

Recordings for Moravski
In social media it is of great importance to present your project professionally. The next step is a sound recording of the current pieces from the repertoire.

Rehearsal room for Moravski
Palace of Culture “Pechersk”: The Moravski Chamber Choir does not have a fixed rehearsal room until today, which means a high level of organization with about 35 members. There have even been outdoor rehearsals! A piano was often not ready for use or not even available in the first place. Under these circumstances, a choir cannot build repertoire and has difficulty developing.

Film adaptation – staging Nika Turbina
Art Crossing Borders, together with Igor Fedirko, is planning the film adaptation of his production of the same name.

A Different World
I am watching the current developments in Ukraine and on the international stage with great concern. What was originally planned as a meeting to sign a raw materials agreement between Zelensky and Trump escalated in front of live cameras into a confrontation, during which Trump openly questioned U.S. support for Ukraine in front of the assembled world press. Additionally, Elon Musk’s sweeping “Chainsaw Blessing” cuts to USAID funding have significantly hindered access to aid for Ukraine, which is the largest recipient of assistance, totaling over $37 billion.
Mental health program enters pilot phase
The past few weeks have been particularly tough for Ukraine. In November alone, Russia sent over 2,000 drones into Ukraine. Entire nights were marked by attacks on cities, with some assaults lasting up to eight hours. The new EU leaders visited Kyiv, and the chancellor pledged an additional 600 million euros in aid. The secretary of the Russian Security Council, Sergei Shoigu, appealed to the West to swiftly begin negotiations on Ukraine’s future in order to prevent the “annihilation” of the civilian population there…
A Collaboration with Nebaiduzhe
The situation in Kyiv is desperate. In recent days, Russian attacks have caused severe damage. Last Monday, the Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital, the largest of its kind in Ukraine, was hit. At least 30 people died, including four children. Another 117 people, including children, were injured. Residential buildings in cities such as Kryvyi Rih and Pokrovsk were also hit. A major power supplier near Kyiv was heavily damaged as well, further exacerbating the city’s energy supply issues.
A look into the soul
Over 60 individuals from the fields of photography, performing arts, literature, music, and theater were reached out to and interviewed, which has provided us with valuable insights and contacts within the scene. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved. This survey, I can say this much in advance, produced unexpected results. But first of all, I would like to apologize for the delay. It is still not easy to work effectively in a war-torn country. It is a tough process and I thank you for your patience and commitment.
A New Beginning
During the winter, supply difficulties wreaked havoc; focused work in Kyiv was out of the question. Our helpers, projects, and employees were consumed with their personal lives and survival. At the beginning of the year, Andrii left us, and with him, a crucial employee and contact person within the scene; traveling to Ukraine personally remained out of the question.
Reached more than 700,000 people across Europe!
“Sing with us, Europe!” has successfully come to an end today, more than a month after the release of the main video. The >>Hamburger Abendblatt wrote about us, the film >>“One Voice” has reached 140,000 people on >>YouTube to date, has been shown in cinemas in Kyiv, on >>TikTok, there are more than 14,000 views, and over 12,000 for the main film alone, came together and the online campaign reached well over 700,000 people in Europe and Ukraine. Unfortunately, forced by the still fragile situation in Kyiv, the team was only able to celebrate virtually together.

War in Europe
Since February 24, 2022, we have been in continuous communication with our members and participants in our support programs. We protest most strongly against this act of aggression—because that is exactly what this attack is.
