Commissions
New works developed through a dialogue between artistic practice, patron ambition and context. Each commission needs a clear brief and room for the artist’s judgment.
Cultural initiatives
Make room for what comes next.
A commission, a gathering or a place can create a new relationship with culture. New Renaissance develops initiatives around the artists, patrons and organizations able to give them meaning.

Before we begin
A few useful answers.
Are these announced events?
These are areas of work, not an event calendar. Dates, participants and public access are shared when a specific programme is confirmed.
Can a private patron support an initiative?
Yes. Patronage can support the development or presentation of a work, a programme or an ongoing artistic practice.
How do I bring an initiative to New Renaissance?
