In the organizer's words:

Constitution and aims of the association

TARMAC e.V. was founded in June 2021 and is the result of more than two years of intensive experience in organizing the TARMAC Festival. The association forms the official framework to realize common ideas and visions of small art and music collectives from Saxony-Anhalt, Saxony, Berlin, Brandenburg and Thuringia. Our common goal is to create spaces in which people can express themselves and feel comfortable and in which escapism, but at the same time also confrontation with the challenges of the present is possible.

Composition of the group of people

Our group has a solid core of volunteers who take on leading functions for the realization of the festival, which takes place annually at Allstedt airfield and has enjoyed popularity in the scene of smaller music festivals. The permanent core is supported by the members of the individual collectives, who donate their free time to the project and thus make this unconventional way of organizing a festival possible. The utopias and ideas of TARMAC e.V. are constantly undergoing a dynamic process of change within the framework of our common goals. We always try to work together in a challenging, solution-oriented and considerate way, always striving for consensus despite differences of opinion and thus successfully implementing our impact and action goals together.

Current tasks & prospects

For the time being, the focus remains on holding the TARMAC Festival. Engaging with and experiencing music, art and culture together has always been an important human need. The high demand for tickets in the past two years confirms our approach to realizing the project. On the one hand, we see the creation of communal, open and non-discriminatory spaces in the context of the festival process and, on the other hand, the promotion of artists in the region as well as local companies whose services we would like to make use of. We also consider it important to offer a place where national and regional artists can network. In the future, the association can also imagine the realization of other projects in the field of art and culture as well as the implementation of a largely barrier-free festival.
