If it's art in Downtown, it's probably us...or one of hundreds of artists and organizations we fund, promote and present. From Wall Street to Mulberry, from the Battery to the Bowery, from the East River to the Hudson, the Council enlivens the arts downtown. Workspace places artists in studios just blocks from Wall Street, changing what it means to “work” in the Financial District.
