Triodos Bank in action
We try to support and stimulate the Arts and Culture sector in a creative way. For example, in The Netherlands by joining forces with Kunstenaars & Co, an institution that supports artists in starting up their businesses.
Artists receive a loan from Triodos Bank and Kunstenaars & Co will act as a guarantor, as well as providing training and coaching programmes specifically designed for artists.
