The banks that joined forces to found UniCredit Group have a long tradition in promoting local culture and artistic events in the countries in which it operates. This commitment is evidenced by the extensive art collection of UniCredit Group and dozens of initiatives within UniCredit & Art Project. We believe that culture is always the engine of local economic development through its ability to sustain innovation and stimulate science economy.
Since we are very close to the communities in which we operate, we try to maintain a close relationship with them by encouraging all initiatives that contribute to their cultural enrichment. Thus, we support cultural diversity and offer support to projects in the area of music, literature, film, and visual arts.
The cultural-artistic component of the bank’s sustainable development strategy is materialized in our involvement in long-term partnerships. Our collaborators and partners include NGOs, cultural institutions, academies, curators, and artists.

„When asked by a fitness trainer and Jehovah’s Witnesses follower what I exactly do. I explained him my work with Dada. He then asked me: Do you believe in Dada? First a strange question, I then had to admit, that yes, the art movement Dada had become my religion. Not only are there many spiritual and mystic dimensions in Dada, but also does Dada inform my mindset for the «Joy of Nonsense» and the «Randomness». Therefore I even created a Dada pneumatic mythology with saints and godesses, that will guide us through our current VUCA world (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous).”
