Our Mission

By provoking creative and artistic interventions, Musagetes seeks to transform contemporary life

We work with artists, cultural mediators, public intellectuals and other partners to develop new approaches to building community and culture.

We want to make a difference in how we think about ourselves; how we lead our lives; how we relate to one another; how we organize society; and how we shape the world around us. Musagetes believes that by integrating artistic creativity into modern life we can restore a sense of meaning and shared belonging in contemporary society that has been largely lost because of our over-reliance on economic and utilitarian measures of value.

The Musagetes Café gathers artists, public intellectuals and other thinkers-of all backgrounds and ages-to consider variations on the theme of social transformations through creative and artistic interventions. The Café encourages collaboration and the free exchange of ideas among social, civic, artistic and cultural leaders and entrepreneurs, leading to a world that is socially more just, environmentally more resilient and aesthetically more beautiful.
