thirdPlaces Creative Consultancy

thirdPlaces is a regenerative creative consultancy focused on unlocking the full potential of culture, the arts, heritage, and the cultural and creative sectors through research, strategy and cultural policy design, cultural placemaking, institutional design, and audience development. We are a collaborative global network of creative consultants and academics with a proven track record of working with sector-related public bodies, institutions, and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and beyond. We have a profound commitment to culture, people, and place. Our approach to cultural development is holistic and rooted in deep care for local communities and our planet. By weaving systems of connections across sectors, we shape future planning, revitalise places, and empower creative ecosystems to imagine, design, and foster a regenerative future. At thirdPlaces, we work with our clients and their communities in a spirit of shared responsibility to realise their aspirations and maximise culture’s value as a catalyst and engine for societal, environmental, and economic well-being.
