The Global pulse survey

Shifts in the global geopolitical landscape are having a palpable effect on the work of art foundations around the world.

The impact is being keenly felt by the artists they support, the organisations receiving and giving financial support, and the capacity to continue with cross-border or international programming.

The following eight questions serve to shape a deeper understanding of how foundations are responding to these changes. Thank you for participating.
