The public sector’s disengagement from arts and culture is accelerating, particularly in Europe, driven by the breathtaking geopolitical developments of our times. The exponential impact of technology brings additional challenges to the cultural world, not least with AI unleashed with very few guardrails in the creative sector.
Thus we find ourselves at the outset of a new era, in which private actors (foundations, corporate institutions, wealthy donors) are called upon to step up their role and responsibility in supporting culture, an essential element of our societies.
Thus we find ourselves at the outset of a new era, in which private actors (foundations, corporate institutions, wealthy donors) are called upon to step up their role and responsibility in supporting culture, an essential element of our societies.
These private players, ‘impact investors in culture’, are facing a number of essential questions, such as:
Answering these questions and initiating appropriate action has become an urgent matter. To that end, CultTech Association is organizing a think-tank meeting of private investors in culture.
- How will the (partial) withdrawal of the public sector impact the cultural landscape ?
- Will some sectors be more affected than others (e.g. contemporary culture vs. heritage, etc.) ?
- What challenges, and what opportunities, does this entail for private investors in culture ?
- In this new situation, what resources can private investors in culture bring to bear ?
- What new initiatives are required of them ?
- Is there a need for more coordination, for lobbying according to a specific agenda, or other joint actions ?
Answering these questions and initiating appropriate action has become an urgent matter. To that end, CultTech Association is organizing a think-tank meeting of private investors in culture.
