Stichting Cultuur-Ondernemen

Stichting Cultuur-Ondernemen (Foundation for Culture-Entrepreneurship) stimulates entrepreneurship among artists, cultural creatives and cultural organizations, and pioneers creativity in other sectors such as trade & industry and social organizations.

Artists and Cultural Creatives
Cultuur-Ondernemen inspires cultural creatives, and stimulates them in their ongoing evolution. In conjunction, we focus on new ways to earn a living from work. Our provision of services has been developed in close co-operation with artists and cultural creatives. Accordingly, we are able to respond effectively to relevant themes and issues. A selection of our activities: personal advice, individual supervision, career consultations, educational programmes, training, assignments and financial support (such as loans and funds, for example).

Cultural Organizations
Together with cultural organizations we work on new strategies, earning models and financial vitality. In the past fifteen years, we have implemented more than 500 consultation and modification projects within various cultural organizations, ranging from the Holland Festival to local museums. We understand the culture sector right down to the bone. Entrepreneurship is our trademark. A selection of our activities: business modelling, advisory circuits (business operations, governance, management, marketing), the recruitment and selection of board and management members, coaching,
outplacement, scans, training and financial facilities.

Companies and public organizations
For years, Cultuur-Ondernemen has been working with companies, social and cultural organizations, artists and cultural creatives. We are always on the lookout for a different, original approach. By collaborating with cultural creatives, organizations gain inspiration and become familiar with new methods to approach or solve various issues. Creativity can be applied in many ways. The possibilities are as diverse as they are numerous – in the innovation of products and marketing, for example, or in training, strategy forming and interior design.

Municipalities
Years of experience have ensured that we are aware of what is currently happening, that we comprehend present-day issues, and that we know the solutions. Problems are the starting point of our services. We can provide these services individually or in a coherent package. In this context, one can think of reinforcing entrepreneurship among cultural creatives and cultural organizations in a municipality, or of improving the liveability of a city.
