Nová síť is a service organisation supporting performing arts and open culture. It actively creates opportunities for collaboration between Czech regions, Prague, and with abroad; improves communication between stakeholders of cultural life and public administration; and strives for decentralization, development, and cultivation of civic society in the Czech Republic. Nová síť fills the gap between public administration, state-funded organisations, and individual stakeholders of cultural life. Since 2004, Nová síť has been the administrator of the Czech Cultural Network, which covers more than 30 cultural organisations across the Czech Republic regions.
Mutual cooperation in the network is divided into three groups:
• NETWORK PARTNERS
• COOPERATION START
• STAY CONNECTED
