Creative Time strives to commission, produce, and present the most important,
ground-breaking, challenging, and exceptional art of our times; art that
infiltrates the public realm and engages millions of people in New York City
and across the globe. We are guided by a passionate belief in the power of
art to create inspiring personal experiences as well as foster social
progress. We are thrilled when art breaks into the public realm in
surprising ways, reaching people beyond traditional limitations of class,
age, race, and education. Above all, we privilege artists’ ideas. We get
excited about their dreams and respond to them by providing big
opportunities to expand their practices and take bold new risks that value
process, content, and possibilities. We like to make the impossible possible,
pushing artists beyond their comfort levels, just as they push us beyond
ours. In the process, artists engage in a dynamic conversation between site,
audience, and context, offering up new ideas about who an artist is and what
art can be, pushing culture into fresh new directions. In the process, our
artists’ temporary interventions into public life promote the democratic use
of public space as a place for free and creative expression.
