This development programme aims to make new ways of applying artistic expertise visible and to provide access to artists' expertise as broadly as possible within society.

The goal of Taike’s development programmes is to promote the status and working conditions of artists and to enhance the impact of art in society. These goals are implemented in projects in which Taike’s regional artists, special advisors and art experts play a central role.
