EFA Project Space

A program of The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, a 501c3 public charity. EFA Project Space is a 3,000 square foot exhibition space that resides in the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts building in Midtown Manhattan. The ultimate goal of the program is to generate a cumulative and an ever-adapting platform for considering diverse creative practices (from performance to installation, to new media

, to craft, to discursive projects, to street art, to ephemera) on an equal plane. We present five critical contemporary exhibitions per season in collaboration with a diverse range of curators, cultural organizations, collectives, and artists—continually reaching out to the individuals and groups that shape culture today. In order to provide a dynamic and accessible exchange with the content and its creators, we host a multitude of seminars, workshops, performances, residencies, brain-storming sessions and socially interactive events. We do not stand by a strict agenda, but rather we propose one that is fluid and open about the many layers and approaches possible for compelling artistic expression, aiming for content that, without pretense, allows for social, intellectual, poetic, and political engagement with society.
