contemporary art
Black & White Gallery was founded in New York in 2002. The Gallery location was a unique industrial indoor/outdoor ground floor space in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn - the breeding ground of emerging talent at that time. From the outset, the Gallery has been committed to cultivating promising artists in the initial and more advanced phases of their careers exploring contemporary themes and concepts through multiple mediums. From 2006 to 2010 the Gallery operated from two locations - Williamsburg and Chelsea. During this period, the Williamsburg location was dedicated exclusively to production and presentation of site-specific installations. From April 2010 to December 2012, Black & White Gallery / Project Space operated out of a single location - its original location at 483 Driggs Avenue in Brooklyn, New York.
In April of 2013 in response to current business conditions and the state of the arts, Black & White Gallery/Project Space announced the closing of its Brooklyn (Williamsburg) location. The Gallery will continue its activity under a new business model through its non-profit arm – Black & White Project Space (tax exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code).
The non-profit Black & White Project Space was established in 2008 to support local artists working in the field of site-specific installations through the Exhibition and Artist-in-Residency programs.
Black & White Project Space will continue its support of diverse creative ideas in the increasingly cross-cultural environment. Our new focus will be on providing financial resources to emerging international artists and on preserving their artistic legacy.
To carry out the new mission, Black & White Project Space will establish the Black & White Fund. It is NOT an investment fund. The purpose of the Fund is two-fold: to support living, practicing artists by acquiring their work through the Fund’s Acquisition Program, and to encourage museums and other public collecting institutions across the globe to accept the acquired works as gifts through the Fund’s Museum Gift Program.
Acquisition funding will be achieved through grants, direct donations and Charitable Sales campaigns conducted by Black & White Gallery/Project Space at art fairs and other venues. To further fuel the Fund’s financial resources, Black & White Project Space will offer its services as a fiscal sponsor to new charitable art-related and environmental initiatives not associated with Black & White Project Space.
