Creative Programming
Time New Internship
York
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
artists¹ 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 . . . our
artists¹ temporary interventions into public life promote the democratic use of public
space as a place for free and creative expression.
