our creative citizens approach
We bridge artistic imagination, scientific curiosity, and community identity to change mindsets and address public issues at the heart of where human connections begin the social fabric of a city.
Our vision of the social fabric spans hemispheres, cultures, and sectors - connecting grassroots organizations and communities, scientific research institutions, and local governments.

Our methods, programs, and solutions foster collaboration, enable holistic perspectives on real-world issues, build capacity and outstanding talent, and improve the way life is experienced in every community and place.
Culturans uses art, culture, and social innovation to help build better cities for people and nature. We work with both a global and local focus to face urban issues and empower creative citizens to reimagine and transform their communities and environments.
SUSTAINABLE CITIES THROUGH ART, SCIENCE AND COMMUNITY
Our team offers a unique perspective on cities that combines urbanism, creative industries, community development, and environmental sustainability.

We operate at the human scale of cities, working alongside grassroots communities, scientific institutions, educational centers, and government agencies across the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
WHAT WE DO
We use our Creative Citizens approach to develop urban solutions and participatory programs that inspire social, economic, and environmental change in everyday urban life.

Our work has focused on the creative empowerment of disadvantaged youth, reimagining marginalized places and populations as hotbeds of innovation, improving the experience of public spaces, and exploring cities' cultural and natural heritage as a source of urban sustainability and regeneration.
