Internship
MArteLive is the first multidisciplinary festival in Europe that blends competition, live performance, and cultural production into a single immersive experience. Founded in 2001, it is now a true artistic ecosystem involving 16 sections, hundreds of emerging artists, and over 100 locations between Rome and Lazio. With its unique "total spectacle" formula, MArteLive transforms every event into a contamination of languages: music, visual arts, performance, street art, theatre, video art, dance, fashion, craftsmanship, and much more.
Over the years, it has won national and international grants, including Creative Europe, and has become a benchmark for emerging talent, offering over 150 prizes in each edition, including productions, tours, residencies, workshops, management contracts, and festival participations.
