Steven Hearn is vastly experienced in the field of cultural and social strategy. His main structures (including agencies Le Troisième Pôle, Mondara and Alimentation Générale; La Gaîté Lyrique, a cultural public service concession; the cinemas of Saint-André-des-Arts in Paris and Galeries in Brussels; the Paris concert venue Le Trabendo; the KissKissBankBank platform in Benelux; and the magazine Tsugi) are all grouped together under one umbrella organisation, SCINTILLO, in order to facilitate the sharing of skills and resources. SCINTILLO is in the process of developing, in France and soon in Africa, the co-working venue and cultural incubator Créatis.
Hearn is also on the management teams of Arcadi, the CNEAI, MediciTV, Clowns Sans Frontières and the European Lab Forum. He delivered a report on the development of cultural entrepreneurship in France in June 2014, commissioned by two French government ministers Aurélie Filippetti and Fleur Pellerin. His eight recommendations are now being progressively implemented.
