Founded in 1973 as Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, LMCC serves, connects, and makes space for artists and community. In September 2019, LMCC opened the Arts Center at Governors Island, a newly renovated 40,000-square-foot space that repurposes an 1870s warehouse for the 21st century. Conceived as an incubator for creative exploration, it houses LMCC’s Artist Residency Program, along with sizeable galleries, flexible performance spaces and ample rehearsal rooms.

“It is an honor to be part of The Warhol Foundation’s mission to support the visual arts coupled with its commitment to specifically support the voices of women, POC, Native Americans, and LGBTQ. It is simply thrilling to be part of an organization where we get to see these values writ large and implement real change in real life ways in the visual arts community that still so needs to move forward in terms of social justice, equality, and diversity. We put our money where our mouth is. How many institutions actually do that?”
