Artists Space

Support

Our donors are a vital and essential part of the Artists Space community. As 2024 comes to a close, we invite you to support Artists Space's Annual Appeal with a year-end gift.

The Friends of Artists Space are our most essential supporters, an active and always-growing network of local, national, and international patrons whose generosity helps fundamentally shape our future.

On the occasion of our 50th anniversary, we encourage you to join the Artists Fund, an initiative to raise $2.5 million to significantly support future artistic production. You can find more information here.

As the year comes to a close, we respectfully ask for your support of Artists Space, where Michael Asher’s first ever posthumous survey is currently on view. Looking ahead, we will present an unprecedented solo exhibition with 2023 MacArthur Fellow Carolyn Lazard and a group exhibition curated by artist Arnold Kemp. You can see all of our current and upcoming programming here.

Artists Space diligently works to ensure New York remains a vital place for artistic communities. We strive to present the most challenging, speculative, and surprising artists of our time through both our exhibitions and our live program Venue. This year, we have provided all of our exhibited artists, performers, and exhibitions with more resources than ever before to realize our most ambitious projects to date.

Our ceaseless commitment to the most visionary art and artists requires visionary patronage. We would be extremely grateful if you chose to support us with a year-end gift.

The Friends of Artists Space exclusively support our programming, directly investing in artistic production and new commissions. This visionary work needs visionary support, and our Friends members join in the commitment to radical art forms and visibility for all communities. Our Annual Friends levels are $2,500 for individuals and $5,000 for dual memberships. Our Super Friends contributions start at $10,000 and increase to $20,000. Our Friend donors are invited to intimate openings, tours, and conversations throughout the year and become our guests at the Annual Friends of Artists Space Dinner in the spring.

Since first opening our doors in 1973, Artists Space has remained an indispensable site for exhibitions, performances, public programs, and critical conversations, while steadfastly supporting the unknown, the speculative, the hermetic, the untested, and the evolving concerns of our time. We would be grateful if you would join us in carving this path forward.
