The Alliance for Socially Engaged Arts brings together leading European philanthropic foundations to champion the power of socially engaged arts in driving positive social change across Europe.
At the heart of the Alliance is its Fellowship programme, an 18-month initiative that connects and supports leaders of socially engaged arts organisations across the continent. The programme brings together around 15 leaders who are spearheading the arts to address social challenges within their communities. Through peer learning, leadership development, and access to skills, networks, and funding, the Fellowship helps strengthen organisations and expand their impact.
Alongside the Fellowship, the Alliance works to increase recognition, understanding, and support for socially engaged arts across Europe. Through advocacy, communications, research, and sector engagement, it aims to demonstrate the vital role that socially engaged arts can play in strengthening communities, fostering participation, and contributing to social change.
The Alliance is a pooled fund between 13 philanthropic foundations from across Europe, hosted by the Network of European Foundations, which provides the financial, legal, administrative infrastructure for the Programme. Each foundation is part of the Steering Committee, helping set the strategic direction of the Alliance.
