Cross-pollination between the Arts, Academia and the Market

swissnex Boston and the FHNW Academy of Art and Design Basel are pleased to invite you to join our conversation about the intersection of art, academia and the market. Together, we will speak with teachers, researchers and entrepreneurs about the interactions between their ventures.

What conditions do we want to foster at art schools and universities to promote sustainable entrepreneurial endeavors? How do current social and ecological challenges affect such programs? And what should we expect from the incubators of tomorrow? The event will approach these questions from the perspectives of teaching, research, business, and the individual artistic process.

Projects and initiatives from the metaLAB at Harvard, Northeastern University, Parsons School of Design at The New School, RISD, and FHNW Academy of Art and Design will be presented and discussed in this evening event with three keynote speeches and a panel discussion.

The event is a collaboration between the initiative Swiss Cultural Entrepreneurship at FHNW Academy of Art and Design and swissnex Boston.
