Big hART is committed to the arts and social change. We are also committed to experimentation and innovation and as such the style, shape, size and work of the company is always changing.

Big hART works to:
- make sustained changes with disadvantaged communities
- take the issues faced by these communities and make them visible in the public sphere
- influence social policy
- create high quality cultural activity which drives personal, community, and regional development
- produce critically acclaimed, high quality art for local, national and international audiences.

Since 1992, Big hART’s programs have assisted over 6,500 people experiencing severe disadvantage in 32 communities across Australia, helping them to make sustained changes in their lives.

Big hART is made up of community builders, field workers, researchers, artists, arts workers, and producers.

Big hART is a not-for-profit organisation with Deductible Gift Recipient status. We were incorporated in 1996 and launched at Parliament House, Canberra.
