General Information

TILLT is a social enterprise specialized in linking together the cultural/creative sector with other sectors of society, acting as an intermediary catalyst for sustainable growth, radical innovation, and mind-set change, working with artistic interventions as a method. TILLT is owned by association Skådebaban Västra Götaland, itself a chapter of the national association Riksskådebanan. TILLT employees 5 people full time: 1 director and 4 employees with different thematic responsibilities.

As possible to see on the yearly published activity and financial reports, TILLT has a yearly budget of around 500.000€, consisting of private income from independent customers, grants from regional and national authorities, and temporary projects financed by the EU or other international bodies. TILLT focus is almost exclusively on implementation of development projects, occasionally producing seminars as part of international cooperation projects, or as conclusion/public activities of implemented projects.

TILLT, through its parent association, also has a group of member organisations, comprised of companies, working places, non-profit organisations and cultural institutions from the whole region of Västra Götaland.    

Mission and Objectives

TILLT helps organizations/communities to explore creativity and innovation in several social arenas. This way, new ideas, a new approach to a particular issue or perhaps on the entire organization is created. TILLT gives artists the opportunity to work with their artistic approach and practices in other non-artistic sectors and new social contexts. Artists working in all art forms are trained and specialized in seeing things from a new perspective, twisting and turning questions to find new solutions. By developing and implementing projects in which art meets societal issues, TILLT moves the aesthethics and creativity of the arts into new social arenas and thereby develops both art and society.

Why? TILLT´s mission is to support the development of individuals, organizations and society. We want art and culture to have a bigger role in society and societal development, and thus create a better and more creative world.

How? TILLT curates projects in which artists and organisations meet to develop creative and innovative processes, around topics such as communication, innovation development, idea generation, leadership, values and diversity, many times focusing on sustainable development and societal issues, e.g. diversity and intercultural dialogue, gender equality and human rights, environmental action, etc.

What? Our projects can run from just a few hours to a year, or more. In our projects, we create individual, organisational, and artistic development. A process leader follows and supports the process.

Main Projects / Activities

TILLT's activities during the past few years have been focused on art and culture as tools in social development. TILLT implements TILLT 25-50 projects annually, where artists meet societal challenges of various kinds.

TILLT is responsible for initiating projects, finding the relevant challenges, the client/partners, the financing and matching of the right artist to the process. TILLT curates and leads the process, and oversees quality control of the implementation, also guiding the agreement on the action plan, monitoring and planning, documentation, and planning for future developments. TILLT also works internationally and has led or participated in a dozen EU or SI-funded projects.

TILLT today has an extensive international network and partners around the applications, development and implementation projects in several countries.
