ESOPUS SPACE is an exhibition and performance venue run by the nonprofit Esopus Foundation Ltd., publisher of award-winning
Esopus magazine. Located in the heart of Greenwich Village, this intimately scaled space has embarked on an ambitious programming series that includes concerts, recitals, readings, artists' presentations, screenings, lectures, and exhibitions featuring both well-known and emerging voices working in virtually every creative discipline.
What makes ESOPUS SPACE particularly unique is the opportunities it provides both artists and audience for an authentic, completely unmediated exchange. The space seats just 60 people, and
events are meant to feel less like formal presentations than dynamic exchanges between performer and audience. Reflecting the mission of the Esopus Foundation and
Esopus, the space provides an accessible, noncommercial arena in which creative people and the public can connect in meaningful, productive ways.
Exhibitions in ESOPUS SPACE feature work from
Esopus contributors as well as from emerging and established figures in the contemporary art world in New York City and beyond. The schedule includes one-person exhibitions and group shows (including those conceived by guest curators).

ESOPUS SPACE is funded in part by a generous grant from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
