Together with a number of regional and international representatives for cultural organizations, business organizations, educational sector, public sector, academia, non-profit organizations and more, TILLT's Board of Directors has formulated and signed a text based on the Västra Götaland Region's cultural committee's decision to terminate its assignment to TILLT.

TILLT should be celebrated, not shut down

TILLT is a valuble organisation who works together with artists to contribute to societal development and new working methods in several different sectors in the Region  Västra Götaland.
During the past 18 years, TILLT has played a significant and important role to freelance artists. The organisation offers both employment for artists and open doors to entirely new contexts for them to work in.
The presidium for the cultural affairs committee in the Region Västra Götaland, suggests to cut funding to TILLT, a decision which is to be made on Thursday on the 2nd of April. If the funding is cut, it means that an organisation which is unique and contributes to societal developments will cease to exist.


Through well-researched methods, developed within the areas of elderly care, emergency services, integration and climate adaptation TILLT contributes to creative, meaningful and safe working environments and staff groups, which in turn helps people grow and develop in their profession. The work TILLT does makes a difference for the elderly and marginalized groups in our society and contributes to development in municipalities and in businesses.
 
TILLT has, since 2009, led and participated in 17 large-scale international projects, and is actively bringing EU-funds to the region. TILLT has developed methods that increases people’s participation and creativity, which has gained both national and international acclaim and attention. Research and  reports points out the work in the organisation as an outstanding resource.

TILLT has managed to achieve a uniqe competence that is in danger of dissapearing. This leads to questions about the future: Who will lead innovative processes and meet societal challenges with creativity in the Region Västra Götaland? Who will facilitate meetings, with room for the unexpected to happen, where new directions can be explored and new solutions can take shape?
 
TILLT is needed now more than ever! To create bridges between artists and workplaces and to meet society’s big questions with new perspectives. TILLT creates innovative projects based on societal needs – which is especially important in a world that faces never-before-seen enormous challenges.
TILLT is a wellfunctioning and world unique organisation that musn’t be shut down!

Information: TILLT is an organisation which creates projects about sociteal challenges, where artists are creative motors. TILLT creates projects in the Region of Västra Götaland as well as international projects.
TILLT has a long-term commission from the Regional Authority of Västra Götaland as well as a commission from the Swedish Arts Council.
