Project for Empty Space

VIA | Wagner Incubator Grant

Project for Empty Space (PES) is a woman-run, femme-powered, People of the Global Majority/BIPOC, Queer, and unapologetically radical ecosystem for creatives. Since its founding in 2010, PES has been dedicated to creating safe and equitable spaces for multidisciplinary artists and the social discourse their practices inspire. Viewing itself as an ecosystem for artists and the public rather than an “organization,” it centers two annual artists in residency programs that feed exhibitions and public engagement offerings. Through its programming, PES cultivates conversations around important social issues through the lens of contemporary art and critical intersectional frameworks. Its diverse array of exhibitions and programs aim to inspire its members and wider audience to further invest in and support Newark’s creative community.
