Culture Shot

Because art is indispensible

Akoesticum believes that art is indispensable for the development of people and for connecting people in society. Culture inspires, challenges and connects. With these qualities, the cultural sector can also make a valuable contribution to the tasks of organisations and companies in other sectors. Together with makers from the cultural field, Akoesticum is developing attractive forms to harness the power of culture for events and meetings for the business market.

Make it a day to remember

As a matchmaker, we connect local and regional (performing) artists, talents and other creatives with business meetings. They provide a cultural contribution, often a performance, to the meeting.

Programming

Anyone wishing to make maximum use of the power of culture can have Akoesticum contribute to the programming of his or her event. Inspiring makers and artists provide keynotes, workshops and training courses, or support (learning) processes with creative techniques, music, theatre or dance. This is how we make more and more impact with the power of culture.
