Shared Vision - www.sharedvision.org engages the imaginative power of the community as a catalyst for economic, cultural and social transformation. We leverage these community benefits through permanent participatory public art of the highest professional caliber. These large-scale works are co-created by an artist in collaboration with thousands of residents of all ages and backgrounds. This process expands cultural participation into many under-served sectors and builds ties across divisions of all kinds. Each individual is invited to help shape an extraordinary artwork, one that speaks with a collective voice. By providing innovative methods for community engagement, and by illuminating the common ground on which our diverse society is built, Shared Vision projects foster unity and revitalization simultaneously.

We reach audiences that number in the tens of thousands every year. Admission is free, and the artwork is accessible to everyone, 24/7/365. For ten years our operating funds have come entirely from public contributions. Our board of directors includes community leaders from many sectors.

Shared Vision received the Core Values Award from the International Association for Public Participation, and the Project of the Year Award from the American Public Works Association. The interactive website from our last project - www.bridge.skyline.net is linked to hundreds of educational sites on the web
