Local economic development through culture

Countercult connects local cultural knowledge to economic development and paid work through four parts. The public Network helps people find artists, spaces, and local operators. Exchange posts can be public or limited to approved members, who share or find rooms, workspaces, opportunities, skills, and partner resources. Countercult Studios delivers paid research, curation, and programmes for places and organisations. The business-owned Fund helps participating businesses create budgets for paid local creative work.

Countercult works with cities, destinations, institutions, agencies, brands, hospitality teams, and local operators. Private member information is not sold as raw data; public profiles are shared according to each member’s visibility choice.
