What kind of art does SOURCE fund?

We fund interactive art. We fund art that is accessible to the public, civic in scope and prompts the viewer to act. We like art that can be experienced in more ways than visually. We are fans of art that is meant to be touched, heard or experienced, as well as viewed. We prioritize funding art that involves the audience in its creation and presentation.

What is INTERACTIVE ART?

• Art that requires human interaction to complete the piece.
• Art that prompts people to interact with one another.
• Art that responds to participants and to its environment.
• Art that causes people to reflect on the larger community.
• Art that challenges the viewers’ traditional perspective on art.
• Art that belongs to the public and exists for the benefit of all.
