601Artspace
Free-thinking young curators and artists light up the truth at this experimental non-profit on Eldridge Street.
Why we it
We like gifts. And this gallery is one for all of us. Its mission is clear: foster freedom of expression, giving people opportunities to show art, talk about art, and have real, open dialogue about what it means.
Recent shows have included explorations of hair, the sound of war in Ukraine, the time it takes to build a rock, and the relationship of truth and history. These are exhibitions with soul and depth that ask the big questions. Or, maybe, the small questions that become the big ones.
Leave your coffee for after the show. You’re going to want to head to a cafe to debrief with your art partner when you leave.
About the Art Project Space
601 Artspace has been stirring thoughts and shifting perspectives since 2006. David Howe, an artist, collector, entrepreneur, filmmaker, and philanthropist, founded it because he’d bought some art pieces that were too big for his apartment, and he wanted to share them with people. Artist and curator Sarah Shaoul has been the director of 601 Artspace since 2012. Together, they evolved into sponsoring super thoughtful exhibitions and creating opportunities for ambitious curators and work from both global and homegrown artists.
