To give a name to the challenges ahead, 
to use art as a force for change,
to inspire and connect
through the unexpected
- that’s why we exist.

We are CAN


Co-created by visionaries who believe that the powerful transformative qualities of arts can be used for social impact, CAN is a platform that aims to enable, engage and empower individuals, organizations and communities through arts and unlikely alliances in order to generate meaningful change to shape a more humane future together.



Why  Now?


We are at a civilizational crossroads with major global interconnected challenges. And that by nature is a cultural challenge.

CAN believes that we cannot change the status quo in silos, even if we are really efficient; we need cross-sector collaboration. Art is presented with a unique role, responsibility and opportunity in the context of such a need for cultural transformation to achieve greater impact.
