Description
What We Do:
Educate the public about contemporary art, architecture and new media practice by providing information and opportunities for direct interaction with the work and the sites in which they are held.
Expose hidden architecture spaces and places - uncovering gems in cities often unseen or unused by the public; and provide a means for residents and tourists alike to see and learn about their cities in a new and unique way.
Provide opportunities to artists, designers, and architects for experimentation - in the 'design labs,’ schools, and in the public eye - for the further development of cutting edge architecture, art and technology practice.
Engage the community with free opportunities to learn and see new things and places. Provide a means for interaction with other diverse members of the community.
Create unique art and architecture experiences that assist in boosting cultural tourism and spur the ongoing establishment of targeted project cities as premiere cultural destinations.
