IN SITU is the European platform for artistic creation in public space

Led by Lieux publics, European and national centre based in Marseille, France
and co-funded by the European Commission.


Since 2003, the network has supported over 300 artists working outside conventional venues and contributing to the transformation of our territories.

IN SITU is an ecosystem connecting artists with audiences, programmers and key players involved in the social and political realities around Europe.

From 2020 to 2024, IN SITU coordinates the cooperation project (UN)COMMON SPACES, which brings together:

18

partners

16

associate artists

16

citizens-experts

13

countries


We support artists 
working outside conventional venues.

We believe in public space 
as a democratic place 
where art brings new perspectives.

We trust in intercultural cooperation 
to bring our convictions to life 
through field actions.


Built by passionate programmers since 2003

IN SITU was created in 2003 by 6 programmers (festivals, creation centres,theatres…) passionate about new aesthetic trends and public space issues across Europe. It grew in scope, from 6 to about 20 members and various partners working on the whole cultural chain. IN SITU continues to support artists creating for local contexts, involving inhabitants and questioning the challenges of our contemporary societies.




After two decades of active actions to strengthen the art in public space sector, IN SITU wants to go deeper in the support provided to artistic creation. IN SITU dedicates its ressources and expertise to the capacity building, the production and the mobility of talented emerging artists in Europe and beyond.



20 years of international cooperation

The 20-year success of IN SITU would have never been possible without the close collaboration of IN SITU members. With collaborative-style governance, members actively participate in designing the projects and defining strategic orientations. The management of such ambitious European projects relies on the solid experience of a team dedicated to leveraging the knowledge and dedication of these international structures. The coordination team ensures every step of the decision-making process is implemented horizontally, ensuring the richness of the platform.


Since 2003, IN SITU has supported:

over

300

artists so far
and

200

additional until 2028
from more than

20

countries

through a hub of ressources, representations, public tests and festivals.
