Public Space One (PS1) is an artist-led, community-driven, contemporary art center. They aim to provide an independent, innovative, diverse, and inclusive space for making and presenting art; produce unique programs that stretch boundaries and present diverse perspectives; provide resources for artists and cultural educational opportunities; and advocate for the importance of art in everyday life for any and everyone.
“Our grantees range from small arts organizations with one staff member to major museums, yet they all provide essential resources for artists as well as innovative platforms for critical cultural dialogue. Creative risk-taking is at the heart of this country’s most meaningful social, political, and cultural developments, therefore we are proud to stand behind artist-centered organizations that support experimental practice.”
