"What the really great artists do is they're entirely themselves, they've got their own vision, their own way of fracturing reality, and if it's authentic and true, you'll feel it in your nerve endings."  - David Foster Wallace

The Black Rock Arts Foundation supports interactive art projects
worldwide, year-round. In our seven years of collaborating with
innovative artists, visionaries and community groups, we've seen first
hand how interactive art can inspire civic engagement and social
participation.

Our 2008 Grantee and Civic Art projects are inspiring examples of both
groundbreaking works of art and new levels of community ownership and
participation. Projects like The Temple of the American Dream in
Detroit, MI, Peter Hudson's Homourboros in San Jose, CA, and The
Mangrove in Reno, NV brought innovative works of art into the every
day lives of the public, many of whom have little access to such large
scale interactive works. All of these projects relied on the support
of their communities, and hundreds of volunteers.

Come celebrate our achievements as a community, and support the
proliferation of interactive art!
