The institutions that committed to the alliance come from almost every country of the European Union – a strong signal that the need for this solidarity-based cooperation is high. The partner institutions include reknown art academies, national actors of cultural politics but also smaller cultural institutions.

More than 60 institutions expressed their commitment over the last months, among them: the Royal Academy of Arts, Széchenyi Academy of Letters and Arts, L’Accademia dei Lincei, Real Academia Española and Académie Goncourt as well as the Centre Pompidou, the Onassis Cultural Center, Villa Decius and many more.

Particularly in the light of the corona pandemic, it is important for almost all institutions to use the alliance to improve European cohesion in times of crisis and to raise political and social awareness of the importance of art and culture for a functioning democracy.
