Art Collide introduces itself as an arts-collaborative business bringing artists and brands together over immersive performances using innovative integration methodologies. We create productions that engage audiences and leave lasting impressions. Curation, production and programming par excellence without being bound to any one artistic discipline or genre.

1. Space for artistes to collide and find
new paths of collaboration - across
space, time and art forms

2. What we do

3. Our challenge
• With the technological revolution, entertainment,
hospitality and education industries are faced with the
challenge of engaging ‘forever connected’ audiences
who have little recall or engagement with the
traditional way the arts have been presented.
The bane of live entertainment:
The smartphone
The result
Hard-to-engage, distracted audiences

4. The response
• Art Collide is responding through:
– Presenting immersive performances with engaging
content that bring together visual and performing arts
in a cohesive manner
– Involving more than one of the senses – live music
coming together with projections, live painting (on
easels and projected), dance, art installations, live
glass painting, theatre and cinematic interventions
– Encouraging interactivity by inviting audiences to
create alongside ‘charge leaders’

5. Value proposition
• Breaking the traditional mould of how
performing and visual arts are presented
• Compelling collaborations across the arts that
engage audiences and build lasting recall
• Curated experiences that break the boundaries
between the arts
• Strong relationships with the artist community by
delivering value over the past 5 years
• Wide audience engagement across various types
of venues – from the street to pubs to art shows
to fashion outlets
