The Cultural Agent Initiative's mission is to activate art as a social resource by fostering creative and scholarly practices that make measurable contributions to the education and development of communities worldwide. We advance our mission by identifying creative agents of change, reflecting on best practices, and inspiring their replication in underserved communities through training, research, and public forums. We value creativity as vital to the health of democracies and are committed to developing moral imagination and resourcefulness in citizens.

Based at Harvard University, Cultural Agents brings artists, educators, and community leaders together in innovative collaborations that revitalize the role of scholars and artists in civic life. Working both locally and internationally, our programs tap into the resources developed by our global community to address specific local problems. Our activities include workshops, conferences, TV programs, performances, exhibitions, and scholary publications.
