The social impact of art and culture is vast. Festivals, events, exhibitions,  and community arts all contribute to the personal development of visitors and participants, the attractiveness of the city, social cohesion, the economy and social participation.

 

For art and cultural funds and institutions it is important to show the social impact in order to attract partners and funding and to provide accountability to third parties. Cigarbox helps provide insight into the social impact of activities that arts organizations undertake or support.

 

Cigarbox conducts research into the social impact of many leading art institutions and funds, such as the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, IFFR, Rijksmuseum, Kunstmuseum, Kunsthal, various national theaters, VSBfonds, Kunstloc, Keunstwurk and Blockbusterfonds.
