Design 21: Social Design Network

No.9 is committed to the belief that contemporary art can stimulate positive social and environmental change. We are an art organization that provides artists and designers who address these concerns with the opportunity to make ambitious work in the public realm. No.9 brings the power of art to bear on some of the most pressing issues of our time, using urban public space as a forum for exhilarating creativity and vital discussion.

No.9 will provide a wide variety of education programmes and events to expand on the ideas behind our public projects, such as artist talks, film presentations, education programmes, and multi-disciplinary symposia. In collaboration with our artists' projects, these programmes will make our audiences more aware of their environment, the impact they have on it and the opportunities for local and global change.
