The International Federation of Arts Councils and Culture Agencies
The International Federation of Arts Councils and Culture Agencies (IFACCA) is the global network of arts councils and ministries of culture, with member institutions in over 70 countries.
Our vision is a world in which arts and culture thrive and are recognized by governments and peoples for their contribution to society.
The IFACCA Secretariat provides services, information and resources to member institutions and their staff – from senior executives and policymakers to researchers, grantmakers and administrators – as well as the wider community.
Our activities fall into three areas of work: Networking, Knowledge and Data, and Capacity Development. We provide informed thought leadership on key issues and – as champions for arts and culture in public life – we empower our members to advocate for arts and culture in the contexts in which they work. We have member institutions in more than 70 countries and our services and programs respond to their needs.
