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 Foundation supports the broadest spectrum of contemporary art practice in this country, from full-scale retrospectives at major institutions to the independent projects organized by members of Common Field. Common Field mobilizes and serves a woefully under-recognized community of experimental artists and creative instigators who are the life blood of the contemporary art world”
Joel Wachs, President
