Eric Gold creates participatory art projects that engage communities and organizations through collaborative painting.
Each project is designed to foster dialogue, inclusion, and a sense of shared ownership, resulting in large-scale works that reflect the people who helped create them.

I work with cities, schools, and organizations to design art experiences where participants become co-creators. I’m passionate about bringing people together to build meaning, discover collective empowerment, and access the deeper creativity that surfaces through shared imagination and action.

The students evaluate speakers of each session they attend. Eric was the highest rated that we’ve had in years. We host many presentations. Eric’s was unique as the students got a new perspective but also got to experience something completely different.
