A Message from EFA Project Space

About You: you are an artist, an arts organizer, a curator, a writer, an activist, a lover of culture, a thinker, a teacher, a doer. About us: We, EFA Project Space, are a program that explores connections between artists, creative communities and everyday life. We provide an ever-adapting platform for considering diverse artistic practices on an equal plane, aiming for a deeper level of interaction between people, while exposing the many layers and approaches possible for compelling art-making. Together: EFA Project Space was created for you. Whether you are physically or virtually present with us, you play an important role in the vibrant activities of this program. We look back on the past year, reflecting on the success of exhibitions and programs such as I Like the Art World..., Acting the Words...,  Sea Worthy, the 2011 Studio Residency for NYC Arts Workers,and our current collaboration Telefone Sem Fio... And we look forward to great plans for 2012: beginning with gestures of exiled Belarus artists abroad; to a mash-up production of Annie the musical; to a debt-obsessed exhibition inspired by David Graeber' recent writings; to a curatorial exercise in object-oriented thinking; to much more. We make a lot happen with limited resources. In order to keep going, we need help from you, our supporters. Please consider making a donation to the EFA Project Space Program, any amount will make a positive impact. Your contribution will aid one of the most essential needs of our program: funds to support artists' creation of new work-- facilitating the risk-taking, experimentation, and openness that define EFA Project Space. These funds make our exhibitions possible, and they also support original participatory projects from of our new Artist/Organizer series, as well as the continuation of the one-of-a-kind Studio Residency for New York City Arts Workers.

EFA Project Space, a program of the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, was launched in September 2008 with a focus on the investigation of the creative process, aiming to provide dynamic exchanges between artists, cultural workers, and the public. The Project Space presents exhibitions and programs in collaboration with a diverse range of organizations, curators and artists to provide a comprehensive and critical perspective on creative practices. A major aspect of the program's development is ongoing outreach to the myriad individuals and institutions effectively shaping culture today. The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts (EFA) is a 501 (c) (3) public charity. Through its three core programs, EFA Studios, EFA Project Space, and the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop, EFA is dedicated to providing artists across all disciplines with space, tools and a cooperative forum for the development of individual practice. EFA Project Space is supported in part by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. Private funding for the program has been received from the Lily Auchincloss Foundation.
