	VENUE
	Beginning October 2022 and continuing for one year, Artists Space will transform its building’s lower level into a highly responsive, shape-shifting venue for live and durational art of all forms, with free admission. In addition to our program of ambitious exhibitions, this new initiative reflects the multitude of ways in which artists are now making their work and responds to the clear need for increased opportunities for performing artists. Programs will include residencies and concerts for musicians, site-specific choreography commissions, poetry readings, performances, curatorial collaborations with artists, video, film and sound installations, cabaret evenings, and temporal events of all kinds. The precedents, innovations, and experiments of this year will inform an even more holistic inclusion of performance in the future across all the institution's spaces.
