We liaise with artists, designers, architects, curators and other arts professionals and institutions working at the interface where the arts meet education, research and technology. We help them to expand their reach, gain exposure and find the right partners in our global locations.
Taking a personalized, tailored approach, we connect partners with local cultural institutions, professionals, academic institutions or private-sector partners to help initiate and develop projects. We not only promote artistic excellence, but also encourage exchange on how technology and science influence the arts, along with academic reflections on practices within their respective fields.
