A platform and agency for social art and participation
We recognize that not all forms of participation are accessible. This presents opportunities for social designers and artists to collaborate with residents and policymakers, using collective imagination to create a tangible vision of an equitable future.

Platform for social art in the heart of the city
Everyone has a story worth telling. Together with partners, we organize cultural and heritage participation programs where artists, residents, and policymakers respond to local themes. We explore the impact of social art and support social artists in their development.

Agency for participation and social design
Using social design methods, we offer a creative approach to accessible participation in societal issues. We develop accessible public and educational programs in neighborhoods for cultural institutions and provide training for professionals to learn from our insights.
Hee, let's work together!

Join and make space at the Arnhem School of Social Arts
At the Arnhem School of Social Arts, young people work with professional artists in the neighborhoods, developing their own socio-artistic projects in response to societal issues. This helps them develop skills that enable them to act autonomously, creatively, and in connection with society.
