artesnet Europe has organised its work in three strands:
- creative partnerships
Leading partner institution: Utrecht School of the Arts, Netherlands

Leading partner institution: Birmingham Institute of Art & Design, Birmingham City University, UK, in cooperation with Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland
Chair: John Butler in cooperation with Kieran Corcoran
- New Strategies, New Programmes
Leading partner institution: Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, Tallinn

The network artesnet Europe is led by the National Academy for Theatre and Film Arts, Bulgaria, in collaboration with the European League of Institutes of the Arts (ELIA) and four major Higher Arts Education Institutions: Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, Tallinn; Institute of Art & Design University of Central England Birmingham; the Utrecht School of the Arts, Netherlands; and the Dublin Institute of Technology, with the active commitment of 68 partner institutions.
A steering group has been established, chaired by NATFA professor Snejina Tankovska, and comprising representatives from ELIA and the strand leading partner organisations. The role of the steering group is to coordinate between the different strands, to set out overall strategies and to coordinate organisational / financial planning and evaluation. The steering group will at least meet a minimum of twice a year, but will meet as much as necessary, mostly in connection with network meetings or events.
The role of the chair, professor Snejina Tankovska, is to ensure the overall direction of the network, to coordinate between the strands and to signal planning and organisational issues.
ELIA will be responsible for planning, internal and external communication (website, online systems), dissemination, logistics of events and financial administration. The project leader, , is based at the European League of Institutes of the Arts.
