What kinds of impact are cultural organisations making? How are they contributing to a more diverse, just and inclusive society? How can they co-create positive societal change? How are they monitoring their own footprint? And what are the most effective ways to communicate these impacts?

This is the essence of what we will be exploring together on 4-7 June in Ebeltoft, Denmark. Cultural Impact Now! is the biggest event of its kind in Europe, bringing together 400+ professionals from independent and public cultural centres and policymakers. Together we will learn about, discuss and evaluate the impact of arts and culture from a critical and holistic perspective. If you work at a cultural and creative space — no matter what type — this is the most important event for you this year!
