The production of cultural events is a process that involves planning, coordinating, and executing every aspect of an event, from its inception to its conclusion. This process encompasses all phases: idea development, defining the legal and financial framework, planning, hiring security, risk assessment, marketing, and event evaluation. The cultural event producer is responsible for coordinating and executing all logistical and technical aspects of the event, as well as overseeing each department and all necessary details related to improving the performance. The required skill set for a producer includes organizational abilities, financial literacy, creative problem-solving and adherence to moral and ethical principles. Moreover, the producer must ensure equal opportunities and maintain effective communication with artists, financial supporters, and the audience, while considering the perspectives of all stakeholders involved in the project. Two production analyses of cultural and artistic events were conducted in this paper: the “ReArt Festival” and the Croatian short film showcase “Filmska RUNDA”. The analysis aims to identify key similarities and differences in the production of these two events. The key connection between the “ReArt Festival” and “Filmska RUNDA” lies in the role both cultural events play in the city of Osijek, as their rich cultural and artistic programs provide a platform for young artists and creatives to showcase their work and gain societal recognition. The “ReArt Festival” and “Filmska RUNDA” are projects of non-profit organizations – the REART Association and the Artistic Organization Teatar to Go – that provide free cultural programming to Osijek's audience with limited resources, while highlighting the broader importance of the creative sector in both societal and cultural life.
