Storefront for Art and Architecture amplifies the understanding of the built environment through research-driven artistic practice. Its programming is organized according to a year-long central theme explored through a series of exhibitions, public programs, symposia, audio recordings, and publications. Founded in 1982 by artists and architects in downtown New York, Storefront has chronicled the changing landscape of the city for over forty years and remains committed to producing and presenting work about diverse notions of place and public life.

“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.”
