Călușul Poetic is an artistic initiative group founded in January 2025. Its first event, Playtest, took place in August 2025 at Agenția București. Since then, the group has organized monthly social gatherings, open discussions on artistic topics, and open mic nights. In September 2025, Călușul Poetic participated in Street Delivery Bucharest, where Răzvan Țupa and Mina Decu were their guests.

ȘI pitch is a networking and professional development program aimed at emerging artists. Its goal is to support young creators in identifying public and private funding opportunities, as well as in building partnerships with cultural institutions and associations.

For this first edition, three projects were selected, which the teams will present to experts in the cultural field. Each presentation is followed by a Q&A session, as well as panel discussions led by representatives from OISTAT Romania, Fundația 9, the Creative Europe Desk Romania and AFCN.

Through this framework for dialogue, ȘI pitch aims to open up opportunities for collaboration and facilitate young artists’ access to the resources necessary for developing their projects.
