About Mimeta:

Mimeta’s vision is to ensure that all people can enjoy their right to free creative expression, created on independent terms and presented through autonomous institutions. Our mission is to support and protect those who seek to enrich culture through aesthetic or intellectual means. Through both our vision and mission, Mimeta emphasizes the vital role of the arts in developing open and democratic societies, shaping not only culture itself but also the political sphere. At a strategic level, Mimeta achieves its goals by supporting organizations who work on behalf of the arts. We help strengthen the sector’s position on rights-related issues, political and legal matters, professional development, artistic distribution, and, ultimately, the sustainability of the cultural ecosystem.
