The West University of Timi\u0219oara (UVT), in collaboration with the city’s public transport company STPT, has launched a special initiative titled ‘Cultural Tram,’ aimed at promoting art to the local community. The project transforms one of Timi\u0219oara’s trams into a mobile exhibition space.<\/p>\n
With contributions from students of UVT’s Faculty of Art and Design, the tram has been transformed into an urban gallery, being creatively decorated with original works. It will run daily on the route from Gara de Nord to Pia\u021ba Gheorghe Domo\u0219neanu (AEM) via D\u00e2mbovi\u021ba, aiming to highlight young artists’ creativity and make art more accessible to the community.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In addition to the ‘Cultural Tram,’ artwork by UVT students is displayed on exhibition panels at seven stations around the city.<\/p>\n
UVT rector Marilen Gabriel Pirtea commented: “With the Cultural Tram initiative, we turn the daily commute into an encounter with art and creativity. We believe art should be part of everyday life, beyond galleries and exhibition halls. This project shows that we can bring harmony and inspiration into the heart of the community.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the coming months, passengers will encounter new urban art features and other cultural surprises, UVT said. This initiative follows the successful “Timi\u0219oara (re)reads” campaign, a previous collaboration between UVT and STPT, which encouraged reading on public transport.<\/p>\n
The project is part of the national cultural program “Timi\u0219oara \u2013 European Capital of Culture 2023” and is financed through the Timi\u0219oara.Next program, supported by the Timi\u0219 County Cultural and Arts Center and funded by the Ministry of Culture.<\/p>\n
