Arts Collaboratory
Arts Collaboratory is an international network and program initiated by the Dutch organizations Hivos and DOEN Foundation in 2007, in collaboration with the Mondriaan Foundation. It supports independent visual arts organizations across Africa, Asia, and Latin America—particularly in contexts where resources for contemporary art are limited. The program promotes artistic exchange, collective learning, and social innovation, empowering organizations to build sustainable ecosystems for creative and community-driven practices.
Through long-term support programs and project grants for Visual Arts and Social Innovation, Arts Collaboratory fosters collaboration among art spaces that prioritize experimentation, dialogue, and transformative social impact. The Nubuke Foundation is proud to be part of this global network, engaging in shared research, co-learning, and creative exchange with peer institutions around the world.
