BIG ART PARTNERS

The Big Art Collections / 01

Art you can be part of.

Compare documented participatory and interactive works. Start with how people engage: movement, touch, sound or shared space. A past installation does not establish suitability for a new site.

Browse 94 works ↓All collections ↗
Think about your site 3 questions before a proposal
  1. What can visitors touch or enter?
  2. What staffing, access and operating hours will the site support?
  3. How will the experience work for people with different access needs?

Planning prompts from Big Art Partners; these are not artist-specific specifications.
