Art Interactive is a non-profit art gallery in Cambridge, Massachusetts founded in 2001 by Boston-based entrepreneurs Emanuel Lewin and Irene Buchine. Situated at the heart of Central Square, a lively neighborhood between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University, Art Interactive's 2,500 square foot, one-of-a-kind space provides artists a supportive venue for showing cutting-edge work. Likewise, Art Interactive offers the community in the Greater Boston Area (an epicenter of ground-breaking technology development) unparalleled opportunities for experiencing innovative art forms. The gallery's Curatorial Committee invites prominent curators from regional, national and international venues to propose and organize exhibitions and related public programs.
Art Interactive's mission is to provide a public forum that fosters self-expression and human interaction through the development and exhibition of art that is contemporary, experimental, and participatory. The gallery's Curatorial Committee invites prominent curators from regional, national and international venues to propose and organize exhibitions and related public programs.
Art Interactive encourages proposals that presents works in any media, but each proposal must address the goals described in the curatorial mission statement. Please note that Art Interactive discourages artists who are acting as curators from submitting proposals that include their own work.
