The “Arts for the Future” Festival, powered by the United Nations Civil Society Conference's Arts & Culture ImPACT Coalition and Working Group will be organizing an artist-led, global hybrid festival leading up to and beyond the United Nations Summit of the Future including the UN General Assembly and Climate Week NYC.
The festival is essential to re-envision and transform the role of arts and culture in sustainable development. This festival aims to create a more representative, fair, inclusive, and sustainable ecosystem for artists and creative practitioners to lead and be represented.
It addresses the urgent need to change outdated systems that currently limit the impact and potential of the arts sector.
