Three Decades. One Passion. Infinite Possibilities: EURAN Next Takes Flight
A landmark exhibition series celebrating creative innovation and charting a course for the future
Sunday, March 10, 2024
Dear Madam, dear Sir,
In this newsletter, we are thrilled to unveil our latest project, "EURAN Next: Return to the Future", which celebrates three decades of artistic innovation and sets the stage for the future of creativity.
THE PAST
As we already presented in our two previous newsletters, EURAN began as a visionary project in 1995, with the aim of revolutionizing the way artists connect, collaborate, and showcase their work. Despite facing initial challenges, we, passionate founders persevered with minimal means but boundless ambition. With an unwavering commitment to staying at the forefront of technological innovation, EURAN quickly became a beacon for artists seeking to explore the digital realm's creative possibilities.
Throughout the late '90s and early 2000s, EURAN thrived as a hub of artistic experimentation and collaboration. As the new century dawned, we were invited to engage deeply, for two decades, in a series of exciting and very big art projects related to the cruise industry. This period of exploration allowed us to expand our horizons and develop new avenues for creative expression. During those years, EURAN remained steadfast in its commitment to supporting artists and fostering creativity. Our website stood as a testament to this dedication, operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, providing a platform for artists to showcase their work and connect with audiences worldwide.
THE PRESENT
Reinventing EURAN
Today, we stand at the doorstep of a new era for EURAN - a moment to build upon our past successes and reimagine the future of creative innovation. We recognize the immense value of the wealth of experience accumulated over the past 30 years, and we decided to leverage it to inform and shape the development of our project into the future.
EURAN Next: Return to the Future
We conceived the project of a series of exhibitions, destined to some of the most important museums worldwide, that we name "EURAN Next: Return to the Future". With them, we reimagine our roots while boldly stepping forward into new territory. These exhibitions should serve not only as a retrospective of our past achievements but also as a springboard for the future - a future where EURAN evolves into a dynamic, expansive ecosystem welcoming an infinite number of creators.
We see a wealth of subjects for such exhibitions. Here are a few of them:

THE FUTURE
The Constellation Connection
This exhibition project serves as the foundation for the next phase of EURAN's evolution. Indeed, by expanding our focus to include our own creators’ network launched in the 90ies, we aim to tie up the puzzle of the concepts expressed in the series of our LinkedIn newsletters called “Constellation” based on the strong basis of our 1995 project.
Charting a Course for the Future, Our Ambitions
At EURAN, we refuse to limit our ambitions. Instead, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of creativity and culture, leveraging the latest technologies and forging new partnerships to unlock untapped potential. Our vision extends beyond traditional boundaries, envisioning a future where art, architecture and design transcend earthly constraints and reach new audiences in innovative ways. Together, let us challenge conventions, break down barriers, and create a future where creativity knows no bounds.
