ART 2030 invites art-sector luminaries to address World Leaders at the United Nations Headquarters


ART 2030 supported the United Nations High-level event on Culture and Sustainable Development, hosted by the 75th United Nations President of the General Assembly in collaboration with UNESCO, by inviting art sector luminaries to address the event theme of “Building back better: towards a more resilient and impactful sector, throughout COVID-19 and the Decade of Action.”


At this event, Ambassadors, World Leaders, UN Agencies, and more heard statements from Tate Modern Director Frances Morris, Artist Alfredo Jaar, Artist-collective teamLab, Nonprofit organization Gallery Climate Coalition, alongside ART 2030 Founder and Director Luise Faurshou. These #Voices4Culture were invited to strengthen the bridge between the art sector and the policy sector, to work together for a common goal.

The luminaries statements


Culture is an essential component of human development, representing a source of identity, connection, innovation and creativity. Tangible and intangible cultural expressions have demonstrated the ability to drive social inclusion, poverty eradication, responsible environmental stewardship, sustainable economic growth and ownership of development processes. In recognition of culture and creativity’s crucial contribution to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development across its 17 Goals, the United Nations General Assembly has designated 2021 as the International Year of Creative Economy for Sustainable Development.


In accordance with the General Assembly Resolution 74/230, the President of the General Assembly convened a one-day High-level event on Culture and Sustainable Development in partnership with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Held on Friday 21 May 2021, the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, highlighted the resilient and transformative role of culture as an accelerator of Sustainable Development Goals implementation, as well as the challenges within the cultural and creative industries and the broader cultural ecosystem that were exposed and exacerbated by the COVID-19 crisis.

teamLab (f. 2001) is an international art collective, an interdisciplinary group of various specialists such as artists, programmers, engineers, Computer Graphics animators, mathematicians and architects whose collaborative practice seeks to navigate the confluence of art, science, technology, and the natural world.


teamLab aims to explore the relationship between the self and the world and new perceptions through art. In order to understand the world around them, people separate it into independent entities with perceived boundaries between them. teamLab seeks to transcend these boundaries in our perception of the world, of the relationship between the self and the world, and of the continuity of time. Everything exists in a long, fragile yet miraculous, borderless continuity. teamLab is represented by Pace Gallery, Martin Browne Contemporary, and Ikkan Art International.

The Gallery Climate Coalition (GCC) is a charity founded in 2020 by a group of gallerists and professionals working in the commercial arts sector as an attempt to develop a meaningful and industry-specific response to the growing climate crisis. The goal of GCC is to facilitate a greener, more sustainable art world and to reduce the sector’s carbon footprint by at least 50% by 2030 in line with the Paris Agreement. This will be achieved by providing members with industry-specific guidelines and practical tools including a carbon calculator to measure emissions.


Since launching, GCC has become an international organisation with a membership of over 400. It is in the process of establishing several strategic regional groups, the first being in Berlin and London. Conversations about setting up further groups are in progress.
