State of Culture Report

Commissioned by Culture Action Europe (CAE), State of Culture is an outcome of a non-academic policy research initiative exploring how culture’s role and value are framed in national and European cultural policies. State of Culture also gathers insights from key stakeholders across the cultural and creative sectors on the major challenges and opportunities they face in the present world.

The report explores new pathways for positioning the cultural sector in response to the evolving social and political landscape by offering a deeper understanding of the current state of culture. It raises critical questions about the role of culture and the arts in society and examines how the cultural sector can effectively contribute to societal resilience and transformation.

Additionally, the report provides fresh perspectives for advocacy and policy, renewing the language around cultural discourse and highlighting key messages to be addressed by both the sector and policy-makers. CAE aims to spark dialogue through live and online platforms, helping stakeholders clarify advocacy goals and shape a new vision for culture in Europe and beyond.
