Our purpose is to support and empower high-impact arts collaborations for social change.
Championing extraordinary artistic collaborations for social impact to shine a light on what is possible.
Galvanising unlikely allies to spark new creative ideas for collective solutions to local, regional and global challenges.
Forging strong collaborative artistic projects that deliver real, long-lasting change, through our funding and support.
