ART for The World

ART for The World is an NGO associated with the UN Department for Public Information, founded by Adelina von Fürstenberg, in Geneva in 1996, with a large network of artists, filmmakers, experts, collaborators, partners, galleries and institutions on various continents. The sister organization ART for The World Europa, was founded in 2005 in Turin. ART for the World draws inspiration from Article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which proclaims "Everyone has the right to freely participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to participate in scientific and to its benefits." As an institution without walls, the NGO's activities are not related to a permanent space, but to the meaning of the initiatives it promotes: a link between the production and dissemination of contemporary art and cinema and the defense of universal values. This feature distinguishes the two associations, transforming them into a unique experience on the international cultural scene.
