Founded in December 2001 as an education corporation and not-for-profit alternative space, Participant Inc. seeks to provide a venue in which artists, curators, and writers can develop, realize, and present ambitious projects within a context that recognizes the social and cultural value of artistic experimentation. From a modest storefront space on Houston Street in New York City, Participant Inc. presents work by artists who have traditionally been marginalized or ignored by society and art history.

“Our granting program recognizes the equal importance of small, community-oriented spaces, major museums, and everything in between. Together, and with the foundation’s support, they work to collectively amplify the voices and visions of artists, which deepens and diversifies the national cultural discourse.”
