Celebrating its 15th anniversary, ARTmania takes place between July 22-24, in the Great Square in Sibiu and announced the availability of a number of essential roles for the smooth running of the festival, in the production and hospitality teams, positions which are opened for Ukrainians living in Sibiu:

Currently, there are thousands of Ukrainians in Sibiu who have chosen to settle here since the war started in their home country. They considered Sibiu a safe space to relocate to after all the challenges and adversities they were forced to face since February. We wish to continue to show them our support and involve them in the most awaited and important cultural events hosted by our city. Therefore, we launched this recruitment process for Ukrainians in Sibiu, for ARTmania Festival, to introduce them to the generous cultural life of the area and, at the same time, to offer them the opportunity to get directly involved in creating a memorable experience for our community.

About ARTmania Festival

ARTmania Festival, the first Romanian festival that has brought on the local market the concept of combining art with entertainment, is a platform dedicated to promoting all forms of artistic expression inspired by rock culture.

ARTmania, the longest-lasting rock festival in Romania, has consolidated itself with each edition as a major regional promoter of contemporary music. However, ARTmania Festival does not simply refer to shows of famous international and local bands. Music is the main component from which everything emerged, but it is only a part of the experience the festival was designed to offer to Romanian and foreign art lovers.

Since the very beginning, it has been designed as a cultural platform meant to offer the public various events and ways to experience different forms of artistic expression, such as concerts, exhibitions, book launches or film screenings. This common meeting place of artists with the public at the level of sound, colors, images or letters, hosted by the Square and the medieval fortress, creates the space of fairy tale and magic which is essentially comprised in the spirit of the festival.

ARTmania is constantly exploring new directions, building on the experience of previous editions, when a number of important artists and bands went on stage, international names like: Steven Wilson, Peter Hammill, Serj Tankian, Devin Townsend, Die Toten Hosen, Nightwish, Within Temptation, HIM, Tarja Turunen, The Gathering, The Sisters of Mercy, Anathema, Apocalyptica, Lacuna Coil, Helloween, Lacrimosa, Poets of the Fall or Deine Lakaien among many others.
