Candid conversations with global art foundations
Honesty, uncertainty and the art of sustaining the future.
Over three days, leading voices from across the arts will sit with these questions directly, what responsibilities does the field carry, what are the real costs and considerations of doing so, and what opportunities or structures need to be built to ensure the work continues. The goal is not conclusions. It is clarity about what matters most, and what the field is doing about it.

Borrowing from the ancient Greek practice of gathering for public discourse, At the Stoa brings together foundation leaders, artists, curators, scholars, and cultural professionals for a series of panel discussions on the most pressing questions facing the sector. Held at major cultural venues in cities across the world, Stoa convenings are timed where possible to coincide with significant art world moments.
