Human Resources is an artist-run organization housed in a former movie theater in the city’s Chinatown. Founded in 2010, it presents exhibitions, events, screenings and workshops with an emphasis on conceptual and performance-based practices. Human Resources is an essential venue for the creation and presentation of new works that are not easily categorized, many of which are collaborations between performance and visual artists.
“We strive to support institutions that share our artist-centered values. The small grassroots arts organizations as well as the museums that comprise our grantees provide invaluable opportunities for artists to express their unique perspectives on the pressing urgencies of the day. We hope that our grants help to amplify artists’ voices within their communities, in national discussions and debates, and across platforms in the international contemporary art world.”
