Ellae Foundation

About Ellae Foundation

Ellae is a Creative Impact Platform.

Ellae's mission is to reduce the gender, cultural and socioeconomic divide in the arts and culture sector. We do this by organizing interdisciplinary cultural projects. Ellae enables (female) makers (in the broadest sense of the word) to optimally develop, professionalize and represent themselves in society artistically, personally and professionally, with a focus on art, culture and media.

Ellae's goal is to improve and broaden the cultural sector's supply chain and artistic canon through creative collaboration between makers. They are powerful together. Knowledge, advice, and guidance are provided collaboratively, resulting in synergy. This type of participation involves not only makers, but also the general public, who is actively involved, questioned, and probed for unmet needs.

Furthermore, Ellae aims to create impactful connections between audiences, makers, and institutions through its interdisciplinary approach and multi-voiced perspectives in its research, projects, guidance, platform, and network of makers and productions. As a result, all stakeholders are encouraged to participate, learn from one another, be open, and collaborate. Some examples of our current projects include telling hidden myths and stories (by organising meetups), sharing content on our platform, using marketing, conducting and publishing research, and, most importantly, creating and sharing artistic content.

Our ambition is to:

- address gender inequality; bridge socioeconomic gaps and address cultural disadvantages; - balance the maker landscape, chain and canon in the cultural sector; - encourage the growth, professionalization, and representation of (female) creators/artists
