When art and culture flourish, people are concerned with more than simply surviving. After all, these preoccupations involve standards and values, dialogue with other people, the past and future, the way people look at themselves and the world around them. Art and culture contribute to creating awareness among people, their sustainable development and the establishment of stable societies.

Les bénéficiaires des subventions sont principalement des organisations, privées ou publiques, et exceptionnellement des personnes physiques, choisies par la Commission européenne pour leur capacité à mettre en œuvre les projets visés.

HIVOS et son partenaire africain l’Africa Centre au Cap ont soumis un dossier de candidature auprès de l’UE en réponse à un appel à projets sur le thème « Investir dans les populations : Accès à la culture locale, protection et promotion de la diversité culturelle ». Cette candidature fut soumise au début de l’année 2008 sous le titre « Relier créativité et renforcement de la diversité culturelle en Afrique ». L’UE a accepté de financer ce programme à hauteur de 500 000 € sur une période de trois ans.

Les subventions étant de l'argent public, la Commission européenne applique le principe de transparence. Ainsi, au cours des 6 premiers mois de l'année, les services de la Commission publient sur leur site la liste des subventions qu'ils ont octroyées au cours de l'année précédente, hormis celles octroyées sous la forme de bourses à des personnes physiques.    

The DOEN Foundations ambition is to help build a sustainable world in which everyone can participate. DOEN promotes people and enterprises that take the lead in the field of sustainable, cultural and social innovation. DOEN seeks out these innovators, supports and inspires them and brings them together.  

DOEN Foundation supports Arts Arterial with the revenues of the Dutch Postcode Lottery, because it is a unique example of a cultural civil society movement that contributes directly to improving the everyday cultural practice, to develop local funding sources and the development of culture in Africa.

The Institute was launched with a grant from Spier Holdings.

The Academy specialises in collaborative and experimental work with world-renowned artists and architects, making it the only one of its kind in South Africa.
