About Circa CIRCA is a cultural platform for the 21st century. Founded in 2020, it connects art, publishing and technology with the public to create new rituals for a global audience.
Broadcasting daily from London’s Piccadilly Lights and partnering with screens in cities worldwide, CIRCA commissions leading artists to interrupt the rhythm of advertising and open space for urgency, imagination and dialogue.
Each commission becomes part of an ongoing publishing programme spanning artist editions, books, films and digital media that circulate between public space, collectors and audiences internationally.
Sales of these works fund a circular economy supporting public art, scholarships, grants and the annual CIRCA PRIZE, reinvesting creativity back into the community.
