Art4Action - Global Development

Art4Action

Our Art4Action initiative converges great art practices with global actions to reimagine and mobilize urgent social and environmental change through art.

Art has a unique ability to open our minds and inspire action. It activates our emotional intelligence and reconnects us with our feelings and how we relate to the world. It offers a space for open dialogue, envisions new possibilities to find common ground and builds a connected global community.

We work with you to design groundbreaking international projects and new collaborations between visionary artists, collectors and cutting-edge cultural institutions with other communities including change-making scientists, policymakers, innovators and businesses. We catalyze new multidisciplinary knowledge and develop creative communication and advocacy strategies to mobilize new thinking and action. Our action areas include health, climate, human rights, peace and the Global Goals.
