The Sustainable Development through Art in the Iza Valley project is funded with the support of the General Secretariat of the Government through the Department for Sustainable Development.

The project is coordinated by the Romanian Association of Contemporary Art (ARAC) together with the three consortium partners: the Goethe-Institut Bucharest, the Croatian Association of Artists and the Künstlerhaus Vienna.
