Who we are

NfAR is a dynamic network dedicated to the development and promotion of artistic research as a vital innovative practice. Over the past three decades, artistic research has evolved into a reflective discipline that critically examines its own methods and impact, deepening our conceptual, cultural, and practical understanding of the arts. Our mission is to support this growth by connecting researchers, facilitating dialogue, and highlighting the societal relevance of artistic inquiry.
