European Creative Economy Meetings
When creative Europe takes the stage.
REC! brings professionals, students and the general public together around the cultural and creative industries. From studio to stage, from workshop to set, the event shines a light on talent from Grand Est and builds links with creative ecosystems across Europe.
A peer-to-peer, ecosystem-to-ecosystem approach, on the cross-border scale of the Upper Rhine. REC! continues a story that began in 2021 with the European Creativity Biennial.
