Support @Large on Kickstarter!

Today marks a first for FOR-SITE: we’re launching a Kickstarter campaign in support of @Large: Ai Weiwei on Alcatraz!

Pledges to the campaign, which runs through June 11, will support FOR-SITE’s Art Guide program for @Large. A contemporary take on the traditional museum docent model, Art Guides will engage visitors in one-on-one discussion about the art, connecting Ai Weiwei’s work with Alcatraz audiences in meaningful ways and fostering a more personal experience of the exhibition. In addition to working directly with visitors on the island, the Art Guides will make the exhibition come alive for those unable to visit Alcatraz via @Large‘s social media presence, offering ways for people around the world to experience this extraordinary exhibition.

To learn more about the program and the great rewards we’re offering to our backers, and to pledge your support, visit FOR-SITE’s campaign page.
