Big Car Collaborative, WQRT FM, and Tube Factory

Welcome! Big Car Collaborative is the artist-led nonprofit umbrella organization for a variety of cultural programs and projects based out of Indianapolis, Indiana in the USA. Our mission is to bring art to people and people to art, sparking creativity in lives to support communities. This channel highlights our work at Tube Factory artspace, a contemporary art museum that doubles as a community center and work produced for our experimental, community-focused radio station, WQRT 99.1 FM — also streaming at www.wqrt.org.

Much of our in-person work happens on a single block where we own or co-own more than 20 properties — including a long-term affordable housing program for artists. At our campus of adaptive reuse buildings and public greenspace (also where WQRT's studio is located) , we work to support social connectivity, cooperation, and creativity. We also facilitate people-focused placemaking and place keeping projects across the city and beyond through Spark.
