A pioneer in the alternative space movement, Artists Space was founded in 1972 to provide a venue for new art and artists and to encourage dialogue in contemporary arts practice. One of New York's oldest non-profit galleries, we aim to support artists in the creation and presentation of new work, provide greater context and debate for experimentation, and foster an appreciation for the vital and dynamic role that artists play in our communities.

Artists Space rents its space depending upon the installation configurations of current exhibitions.
