Openvizor.com beta launched in February 2008!

Discover, share and connect with arts and culture from around the world

Openvizor is a place to journey and discover, devoted to the promotion and empowerment of creativity, cultural exchange and tourism. Experiencing arts and culture is instinctive, all you need is to be open to your own humanity.

An introduction to Openvizor:

Openvizor is an online international arts, culture and tourism community, enabling members to share their knowledge and experience, a meeting place bringing the unique creativity and heritage of peoples and destinations alive to a global membership of all ages and backgrounds.

Membership is free. Members are provided with the tools to upload text, images, audio and video about their own arts and cultural experiences to share and connect with others. You can also post events, search and discover new connections and favorites from around the world as well as join and create communities.

Whilst English is often the world’s meeting-place language, we endeavour to widen access and exchange of creativity to bring together as many people as possible. We will rely on our growing community to assist in translations where possible by posting comments, a helping hand across cultures.

Online and on the ground

Openvizor is dedicated to building connections and supporting international arts and cultural exchange online through our website and on the ground, collaborating and investing in partner organizations.

Our first investment is in the This Is Not A Gateway festival, taking place from 24 to 27 October 2008 in London, United Kingdom. We are bringing together artists, urbanism practitioners and activists from around Europe to discuss issues and communities often on the periphery of the debate about the future of cities.

As an independent organization, Openvizor is committed to working with our members in the development and promotion of creative and cultural connections and socially responsible tourism and enterprise. We express this mission through collaborative partnerships with governments, local and international public and private organizations, investing in arts and cultural initiatives and festivals.

Openvizor is funded with private finance not linked to any specific country, government or political/religious organizations.
