At the initiative of the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (Dutch acronym: OCW), today sees the kick-off of ‘The Art of Impact’. This programme researches and stimulates art projects, both existing and new, which have a clear social impact. How can art make a difference to a liveable neighbourhood and city, to energy and climate, to care, well-being, life sciences and a circular economy? The Ministry of OCW has made € 7 million euros available for this project for the next two years.
