What is HEYA?
HEYA is a platform dedicated to the artistic and cultural sector, designed to facilitate encounters, collaborations and access to opportunities.
It is aimed at those who bring this sector to life every day: artists, professionals, organisations, and all people engaged in creation.
A field observation
Today, evolving in the artistic sector often requires navigating between different networks, platforms and circles.
- Opportunities are sometimes difficult to find.
- Information circulates informally.
- And visibility often depends on dynamics that do not always reflect the diversity of paths.
This way of working can hinder encounters, limit collaborations, or simply make certain trajectories more complex than they need to be.
The origin of the project
After ten years working in a theatre — in reception, public relations and communications — one thing became clear: encounters play a central role in artistic careers. It is from this observation that HEYA was born, with the desire to make these connections more accessible.
Alongside the development of the platform, the Heya Sessions were created to experiment with these dynamics of encounter in a real and convivial setting.
What HEYA offers
Here You Art is the platform developed by HEYA.
It allows you to:
- discover profiles and artistic practices
- share and access opportunities
- get in touch with other professionals in the sector
- make careers and projects visible
The goal is not to create another social network, but a useful tool, conceived in connection with the realities of the field.
A project between digital and live
HEYA is built both online and in the real world.
The Heya Sessions — multidisciplinary artistic evenings — allow connections initiated online to be extended, and new ones to be created.
They help bring the community to life, by offering open and accessible meeting spaces.
Our values
HEYA is built on a few simple principles:
Accessibility
making opportunities and connections more open
Diversity
valuing a plurality of paths, disciplines and voices
Connection
fostering human, direct and sincere exchanges
Usefulness
designing a tool in service of the real needs of the sector
These values guide both the development of the platform and the organisation of the Heya Sessions.
A project under construction
HEYA is an evolving project, developing through encounters, uses and feedback.
It is built with those who are part of it, and adapts to their needs.
