Artists Space is a non-profit art gallery and arts organization first established at 155 Wooster Street in SoHo, Manhattan, New York City. Founded in 1972 by Irving Sandler and Trudie Grace and funded by the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA), Artists Space provided an alternative support structure for young, emerging artists, separate from the museum and commercial gallery system.[1] Artists Space has historically been engaged in critical dialogues surrounding institutional critique, racism, the AIDS crisis,[2] and Occupy Wall Street.[3] As of 2019, Artists Space is located at 11 Cortlandt Alley in the Financial District of Manhattan.[4]
