The Global Arts Impact Agenda seeks to leverage the power of the arts to solve the biggest challenges of our time. It is an initiative that grew out of the World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Council of the Role of the Arts in Society, spearheaded by Caroline Watson, with the support of cultural leaders Peter Sellars, Elif Shafak, Ozwald Boateng, Carol Becker, Nigel Osborne, Malika Sarabhai and ‘Princess of Africa’ Yvonne Chaka Chaka.

The summits at Clos de Gaye are at the forefront of the policies, practices and procedures that inform the Global Arts Impact Agenda’s work on the global stage.
