Strong anchoring and control mechanisms in a Europe in motion
Making culture a living link between European citizens
As a responsible European public media, ARTE is committed to issues that are important to European citizens: combating inequality, whether social, cultural, economic, geographical, gender- or disability-related, and promoting sustainable development.
ARTE’s corporate identity reflects the channel’s identity as Europe’s cultural magnet. It has been designed by the British agency The Partners together with Lambie-Nairn (now Superunion).
