Alliance for Socially Engaged Arts

Art has the power to connect, challenge, and create change. We bring together practitioners and organisations across Europe who are working with communities to shape a more just and inclusive society. Socially engaged art is about collaboration—creating space for new voices, new ways of working, and new possibilities for change. Together, we’re strengthening this field, sharing knowledge, and supporting the leaders and organisations using creative practice to make a difference.
