CERN launched its Cultural Policy for engaging with the arts in 2011.<ref>{{Cite web |title=CERN launches Cultural Policy |url=https://home.cern/news/press-release/cern/cern-launches-cultural-policy |access-date=2023-04-05 |website=CERN |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Røstvik |first=Camilla |url=https://research.manchester.ac.uk/en/studentTheses/at-the-edge-of-their-universe-artists-scientists-and-outsiders-at |title=At the Edge of their Universe: Artists, Scientists and Outsiders at CERN |publisher=The University of Manchester |year=2016 |location=Manchester |pages=168–188 |language=English}}</ref> The initiative provided the essential framework and foundations for establishing [https://arts.cern/ Arts at CERN], the arts programme of the Laboratory.

Since 2012, Arts at CERN has fostered creative dialogue between art and physics through residencies, art commissions, exhibitions and events. Artists across all creative disciplines have been invited to CERN to experience how fundamental science pursues the big questions about our universe.

Even before the arts programme officially started, several highly regarded artists visited the laboratory, drawn to physics and fundamental science. In 1972, [[James Lee Byars]] was the first artist to visit the laboratory and the only one, so far, to feature on the cover of the CERN Courier.<ref>{{Cite journal |year=1972 |title=Front cover: One of the visitors, James Lee Byars, who brought some colour into the CERN corridors during the summer. |url=https://cds.cern.ch/record/1729545 |journal=CERN Courier |volume=12 |issue=9}}</ref> [[Mariko Mori]],<ref>{{Cite web |title=Art and sub-atomic particles to collide at CERN |url=https://www.today.com/news/art-sub-atomic-particles-collide-cern-wbna44018958 |access-date=2023-04-05 |website=TODAY.com |date=4 August 2011 |language=en}}</ref> {{ill|Gianni Motti|fr|Gianni Motti}},<ref>{{Cite web |title=Gianni Motti {{!}} "HIGGS, looking for the anti-Motti", CERN, Genève (2005) {{!}} Artsy |url=https://www.artsy.net/artwork/gianni-motti-higgs-looking-for-the-anti-motti-cern-geneve-1 |access-date=2023-04-05 |website=www.artsy.net |language=en}}</ref> [[Cerith Wyn Evans]],<ref>{{Cite book |last=Wyn Evans |first=Cerith |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/876051101 |title=Cerith Wyn Evans : the what if? ... scenario (after LG) |date=2013 |publisher=Sternberg Press |others=Eva Wilson, Daniela Zyman, Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary |isbn=978-3-943365-88-7 |location=Berlin |oclc=876051101}}</ref> [[John Berger]]<ref>{{Cite journal |last=White |first=Jerry |date=2017 |title=John Berger of the Haute-Savoie |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/26413815 |journal=Film Quarterly |volume=70 |issue=4 |pages=93–98 |doi=10.1525/fq.2017.70.4.93 |jstor=26413815 |issn=0015-1386|url-access=subscription }}</ref> and [[Anselm Kiefer]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=Anselm Kiefer Meets Science At Cern's Monumental Hadron Collider |url=https://artlyst.com/news/anselm-kiefer-meets-science-at-cerns-monumental-hadron-collider/ |access-date=2023-04-06 |website=Artlyst |language=en-GB}}</ref> are among the artists who came to CERN in the years that followed.

The programmes of Arts at CERN are structured according to their values and vision to create bridges between cultures. Each programme is designed and formed in collaboration with cultural institutions, other partner laboratories, countries, cities and artistic communities eager to connect with CERN's research, support their activities, and contribute to a global network of art and science.

They comprise research-led artistic residencies that take place on-site or remotely. More than 200 artists from 80 countries have participated in the residencies to expand their creative practices at the Laboratory, benefiting from the involvement of 400 physicists, engineers and CERN staff. Between 500 and 800 applications are received every year. The programmes comprise Collide, the international residency programme organised in partnership with a city; Connect, a programme of residencies to foster experimentation in art and science at CERN and in scientific organisations worldwide in collaboration with [[Pro Helvetia]], and Guest Artists, a short stay for artists to stay to engage with CERN's research and community.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Koek |first=Ariane |date=2017-10-02 |title=In/visible: the inside story of the making of Arts at CERN |url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03080188.2017.1381225 |journal=Interdisciplinary Science Reviews |language=en |volume=42 |issue=4 |pages=345–358 |doi=10.1080/03080188.2017.1381225 |bibcode=2017ISRv...42..345K |s2cid=148690179 |issn=0308-0188|url-access=subscription }}</ref><ref>{{Citation |last=Bello |first=Mónica |title=Field Experiences: Fundamental Science and Research in the Arts |date=2019 |url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-27577-8_13 |work=On Art and Science |series=The Frontiers Collection |pages=203–221 |editor-last=Wuppuluri |editor-first=Shyam |access-date=2023-04-06 |place=Cham |publisher=Springer International Publishing |language=en |doi=10.1007/978-3-030-27577-8_13 |isbn=978-3-030-27576-1 |s2cid=210535074 |editor2-last=Wu |editor2-first=Dali|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
