Joyce Soho

At Joyce SoHo, a three-story former firehouse in New York's SoHo district, you'll discover an intimate venue of just 74 seats—one that brings you exceptionally close to every performance. Joyce SoHo's three beautiful studios are exclusively available to independent choreographers and non-profit dance companies for rehearsals and performances at highly subsidized rates. This venue offers a truly unique opportunity for artists to develop their work and for audiences to experience emerging artists.

Lower Manhattan Cultural Council

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.

Materials for the Arts

http://www.mfta.org/

Since 1978, Materials for the Arts has provided thousands of New York City's arts and cultural organizations, public schools and community arts programs with the supplies they need to run and expand their programs. Materials are gathered from companies and individuals that no longer need them and redistributed to the artists and educators that do. In the process, hundreds of tons are removed from the waste stream every year and kept out of landfills, helping to sustain our environment and promote reuse and waste reduction.
