The Delfina Foundation envisions a global family of creative people, living as citizens, working as artists, and acting as cultural ambassadors for their communities promoting cultural exchange, debate and collaboration as a way to combat intolerance, isolation and conflict across the world.

Founded in 2007, we develop innovative models of cross-cultural dialogue via an inter-related programme of artistic residencies and public events, from talks to exhibitions.  We support artists, curators and writers in expanding their practice via professional development. We provide platforms for public engagement that investigates the role of art in society. 

The Delfina Foundation is an independent, non-political arts organisation with charitable status. It is not a grant-making foundation.
