We unite cultural and creative changemakers across disciplines and geographies to support creative practice for systemic change, co-create transformative spaces, and raise awareness of cultural labour and impact.
Our work is grounded in four interconnected strands: supporting practitioners, co-creating spaces for exchange, advocating for systemic change, and raising awareness of cultural labour and impact.
The Network
b.creative is an international network of practitioners in the cultural and creative sectors, working at the intersection of entrepreneurship, artistic practice, and social change. The network was founded in 2019 as an international non-profit association (AISBL) and has since grown into a decentralised, community-led ecosystem that spans continents, disciplines, and levels of experience.
Rather than centring a single artform or methodology, b.creative brings together a diverse range of members: from audiovisual artists, designers, and architects to organisers, collectives, creative hubs, and cultural entrepreneurs. What connects them is not what they do, but how they work, with a shared investment in creativity as a force for transformation.
