The "EcoArts Nexus" – repository of knowledge in arts and culture, environment and funding was initiated by the Kultura Nova Foundation within the framework of the Philea Arts and Culture Funders Forum (ACFF) and in collaboration with the Fondation Daniel et Nina Carasso. The EcoArts Nexus is an online repository gathering comprehensive knowledge on practices and projects of philanthropic institutions, public funding sources, the art world, and the cultural sector that are actively engaged in addressing the urgent environmental challenges of our time. The repository also includes tools and guidelines, awards, initiatives, reports, publications, and research dedicated to connecting art and culture with the environment.

Offering open access to all its resources, the EcoArts Nexus is designed to be an adaptable and continuously growing document. Together with partners, Kultura Nova invites all interested actors and stakeholders to use this valuable source of information in their work and contribute to its expansion by sharing their own practices or other not included resources through an interactive "Sumbit your entry" form available within the online platform. If used this way, the Repository will continue to serve the immediate needs of its users and foster a more ecologically conscious and culturally vibrant world.

The repository, divided into 15 categories, currently features over 250 examples. As such, EcoArtsNexus is an instrumental tool for understanding and navigating the complex relationships between environmental policies, funding strategies, capacity-building programmes, and the development of green tools and guidebooks tailored specifically for the arts and culture sectors.

Beyond its primary goal of enhancing the visibility of current practices that merge ecological concern with cultural expression, the Repository aims to inspire and motivate a broader spectrum of actors to embrace and drive positive change toward the carbon-neutral cultural sector. Through showcasing innovative practices and facilitating access to a wealth of resources, EcoArts Nexus highlights the unique role of the arts and culture in advancing sustainable futures.

Being developed and curated under the supportive umbrella of the Philea Arts and Culture Funders Forum, the EcoArts Nexus represents an important example of the power of collective effort. The initiative benefits from the collective expertise of its main contributors, the Kultura Nova Foundation and the Fondation Daniel et Nina Carasso, with valuable additional contributions from Porticus and other philanthropy organisations. The production of the Repository was supported by the Fondation Daniel et Nina Carasso and Philea Arts and Culture Funders Forum, while the roles of editing, coordination, future web maintenance, and updates were taken on by Kultura Nova.
