arts4society is dedicated to advancing cultural accessibility and promoting the role of art, artists, and cultural institutions in society.
Access to culture is a fundamental human right, as affirmed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Yet many people still feel the arts are not meant for them — often because cultural institutions are not sufficiently accessible or adapted to their needs.
At arts4society, accessibility is approached as a broad and strategic commitment: removing barriers to cultural participation and fostering engagement among the widest possible audiences - regardless of ability, background, age, or location.
Anne Picq has worked for 20 years at the intersection of art, education, and social innovation. She co-founded arts4society with Aude Adrien in 2020 in New York. Together, Anne and Aude wrote a book, launched a podcast, and developed projects on social change through art. Aude is now a psychotherapist-in-training in London, while Anne continues to work toward cultural accessibility through teaching, training, and innovative programs.
