Providence Children’s Museum (PCM) invites artists and creatives to submit a proposal for the design and fabrication of an immersive installation for kids and their adults as part of the Museum’s new project: the Creativity Initiative.

The Creativity Initiative is a three-year project that invites exploration of the capacities that underlie imagination and creativity. This project is designed to build creative confidence in our visitors by actively engaging with makers, processes and environments. We also hope to foster deeper reciprocal relationships between our visitors and local creatives through new and unexpected experiences, while actively supporting the creative economy.
The Museum is inviting creatives to respond to selected themes and propose/design/build immersive, playful environments. Each installation will celebrate and showcase creativity in its fullest form, from the everyday to the fantastic, give a window into the creative process, and support activities to engage our visitors in the hands-on interactive exploration of creativity.
