Scope and Contents

Creative Time, founded in 1973, is a public arts organization based in New York City. The organization has a history of commissioning, producing, and presenting public artworks worldwide. The website contains a listing of all of their projects dating back to 1974. Each project page can contains an overview of the artwork, a biography of the artist, visitor information, images and/or video of the work, curatorial statements, press about the project, contextual resources, guides or syllabi associated with the work, and public events surrounding the work. The website also features a blog with news from the arts organization, event listings, and information on the Creative Time Summit. The Summit was founded in 2009 as an annual "roving platform bringing together artists, activists, and other thought leaders engaging with today's most pressing issues." The last Summit was in 2019. The website also documents their projects in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Creative Time Think Tank was formed in preparation for Creative Time's 50th anniversary.

The inaugural cohort consisted of Caitlin Cherry, Che Gossett, Emily Johnson, Hentyle Yapp, Kevin Gotkin, La Tanya S. Autry, Namita Wiggers, Prerana Reddy, and Sonia GuiƱansaca. This website "Invitations Toward Re-worlding" contains scores, writing and digital art by the cohort members, and responses to the cohort's discussions by Art.Coop, The Black School, Jen Delos Reyes, Miguel Gutierrez, Tricia Hersey of The Nap Ministry, Dana Kopel, Guadalupe Maravilla, and Eve Tuck.
