Eric Gold creates participatory art projects across North America that engage communities and organizations through collaborative painting. Each project fosters dialogue, inclusion, and shared ownership, resulting in large-scale works that reflect the people who 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, spark collective empowerment, and unlock deeper creativity through shared imagination and action.
