The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts Project Space initiated in 2008, is a collaborative cross-disciplinary arts venue founded on the belief that art is directly connected to the individuals who produce it, communities that arise because of it, and to everyday life. EFA Project Space provides an arena for these connections and empowers artists to forge new partnerships and expand ideas through exhibitions, projects, performances, seminars residencies, and events.

“The terrific range of project proposals we receive each year speaks to the mobile and porous disciplinary boundaries of contemporary art practice, and to the rich and inventive ways writers approach art today. They are alert to the urgent need to expand the conventions of art history and criticism with ideas from other discourses, such as black studies, transnational and diaspora studies, gender and women’s studies, and LGBT studies. The work of lesser known and overlooked artists and art communities continues to be mined, with writers articulating new ways to counter the striking imbalances of race, class and gender that continue to affect the arts and the culture industry.”
