About Big hART

Big hART is a group of professional artists, arts workers and producers who have been making work together since 1992 – creating theatre, film, television, painting, photography, dance, new media and radio.

Big hART works around the country, with people experiencing the effects of marginalisation in regional, rural, and geographically or socially isolated communities. We experiment with the process of making art with such groups over three-year periods and in doing so, provide opportunities that are inclusive and responsive to the community. This often creates new opportunities for participants, builds skills, assists regional development and helps foster a more inclusive Australian culture.

The finished work, the personal and social narratives it highlights, and the processes involved in its making, are then presented both locally and in national and international arts festivals, forums and the media. In this way Big hART projects aim to challenge and inform the narration of our nation.

In addition to GOLD, Big hART is currently running a number of other projects around Australia including:
