Macross was born with the main aim of developing professionalities and methods in urban decor interventions, in order to valorise urban spaces and to open a fruitful dialogue between cities and communities. Their artists act since 1997 along a path of legality and institutional dialogue. The Association has also a deep experience in organising social and artistic events, mostly by the “Scimmie in Gabbia” festival. The Macross Association projects and implements public art works and events, manages social-oriented activities, without forgetting education and training. Its interventions have cultural goals, promoting artistic sensitivities amongst the younger ones, opening the audience to new art and expression forms, developing the underground creative network. In Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Macross is a “frontier” reality, since it features a continuous artistic exchange, also on the cultural and linguistic sides. International contacts and initiatives, first and foremost in Middle Europe, mirror the Association’s skills in creating over-the border productive relationships. Its firm will to get rid of the rigid conceptions of “borders” aims at developing the more social aspect of the new art forms, slowly but surely overcoming the old ideologies of clash and division. In 2010, Macross started the "Circuito Artistico Internazionale Euromonkey”, an international artistic residence projects. Up to now, this project can count on six performances/journeys involving painting and music by several European teams of artists, in several cultural capitals of Europe.
