Wash from your soul the dust of everyday life.
Culture
Art and culture are crucial for a society. They reflect debates, make it possible to deal with reality and contribute in significant ways to a society’s development. And, according to Pablo Picasso, art can wash away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Germany’s unique cultural landscape is experiencing a boost towards the future and innovation – which places additional demands on cultural policy and cultural management that go beyond artistic responsibility.
Topics that we know inside out: old masters and the young and wild, classicism, modernism and digitalisation, ideas and inspiration, creativity and communication, spirit and zeitgeist, shaping social discourse, creating meaning.
“Music, art and culture have always been very important to me. To be able to combine my personal and professional passions in such a meaningful way is of course a rare privilege. I actually feel a sense of vocation when we manage to put the right person in the right place.”
— Jörg Will
Bringing people together, facilitating understanding – and opening up new worlds.
Being a leader in strengthening what is fundamental to art and creativity, cultural heritage and diversity – this makes for a fascinating job. The breadth of this field is matched by the diversity of our experience filling management positions in the cultural sector: from municipal directors of cultural affairs to festival directors and artistic directors of major European concert halls. This area is one of ifp’s specialities, especially as we pursue our own cultural interests, both privately and as sponsors.
