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 believe that the arts are not intended for them. They may not feel represented, or they may be unable to participate 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 numerous projects focused on social change through art. Aude is now a psychotherapist-in-training in London, while Anne continues her commitment to cultural accessibility through teaching, training, and the creation of innovative programs.
