Artists space
Artists Space is a not-for-profit art gallery situated in the SoHo district of New York City. It was founded in 1972 by Trudy Grace (an officer at The New York State Council for the Arts) and Irving Sandler (art historian and critic) in response to the difficulty artists faced at the time receiving direct support from any government funding agencies.
Artists Space prides itself in Providing financial support, gallery space and a discussion forum for a wide range of projects. These range from small solo shows by emerging artists to large travelling exhibitions.
