Invisible Painting

MuseoSpace Foundation is proud to be a partner in Invisible Painting, a transnational European project co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.

Invisible Painting reimagines how contemporary abstract art can be experienced by everyone. At its heart is a unique, replicable model for multisensory events, each built around a single abstract painting, where blind, partially sighted, and sighted participants come together as equal co-creators. The project develops inclusive interpretation methods that engage all the senses: sound, touch, scent, and emotion.

By combining artistic innovation with participatory methods and universal design, the project contributes to the objectives of the Creative Europe programme. It promotes inclusion and diversity, supports digital transformation, and fosters cross-border cooperation between cultural institutions, educators, accessibility experts, and communities. In the long term, the model will be transferable across sectors such as education, mental health, and tourism, supporting a broader cultural shift toward accessible and shared artistic experiences. All elements will be developed and tested through co-creation processes and public events in Poland, Slovenia, and the Netherlands, and made available online via an interactive learning platform.

MuseoSpace leads the dissemination and implementation work package, coordinating the project’s international outreach, open online courses for cultural professionals across Europe, and a shared digital repository with the full toolkit and training materials. MSS also co-leads communication and social media coordination across the consortium.
