“Arts for the Future” Festival
The “Arts for the Future” Festival, powered by the United Nations Civil Society Conference’s Arts & Culture ImPACT Coalition and a growing number of artists, arts organizations and climate/sustainability actors will be organizing a global hybrid festival leading up to and beyond the United Nations Summit of the Future including the UN General Assembly and Climate Week NYC.
The festival is essential to re-envision and transform the role of arts and culture in sustainable development. This festival aims to create a more representative, fair, inclusive, and sustainable ecosystem for artists and creative practitioners to lead and be represented.
Dedicated events in the NYC area include a youth poetry open mic, film screenings, creative workshops, an Artist’s March from Times Square to Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, and an Artist Delegation attending the UN Summit of the Future, Action Days, and Climate Week NYC. Our message is clear – we are more than entertainers. We are creative thinkers and problem solvers and deserve to be acknowledged as legitimate stakeholders to help create a more just, inclusive and sustainable world for current and future generations.
