CAE Annual General Assembly 2026

Culture Action Europe’s 2026 Annual General Assembly is taking place online on 25 June 2026 and is open to all Culture Action Europe members.

A close-up shot focuses on the hands of two people working over a table, with one person wearing a black gloved hand holding a silver and blue spray paint can aimed at a surface. The other person's hand, also in a black glove, is covered in blue and green paint residue as they guide or hold the artwork in place. In the blurred background, other spray cans and a sign are visible under warm, out-of-focus lighting.
A person in a blue denim shirt is seen from the side, drawing with a marker on a large white board outdoors next to a tree. The board features a collaborative mural with illustrations of buildings, a central figure with a gear in their hair, and various handwritten messages. The artwork includes colorful accents in pink, yellow, and red, creating a vibrant scene of community engagement and creativity.

General Secretary of Culture Action Europe Lars Ebert will present this webinar. He will outline the work CAE does lobbying and advocating for arts and culture at a European level, and give an overview of their ongoing project State of Culture and introduce their upcoming annual conference.
