Description: In 1991, The Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation inaugurated The Space Program, housed in a building in downtown Manhattan. Each year, fourteen free studios are made available to New York-based artists who have inadequate studio space or none at all, and to artists from other parts of the country who could benefit from a sustained period in the city. Artists are selected by a rotating jury, consisting of members of the Foundation's Artists Advisory Committee and invited artists. The range of work in this exhibition reflects The Space Program's evolving and sustaining community of interest in which artists come together to tend to their creative concerns in the company of other artists.
