Our mission is to make art accessible to people of diverse backgrounds and interests, and to contribute to the societal debate on important social and ecological themes. We are committed to using art to create deeper insight into and greater engagement with current societal issues. In the north of the Netherlands, where the natural environment plays a significant role, Noorderlicht is committed to ecological innovation. We focus on collaboration between people, nature, and society, taking into account the interests of all life forms in our projects, while acknowledging both human and non-human interests. We integrate this vision into all our activities, with sustainability as a central guiding principle.
