Artists Alliance Inc. (AAI) advances experimental and forward-thinking artistic practices. Founded in 1999 by artists in New York City’s Lower East Side, AAI supports individual voices that shape the culture and future of the neighborhood.
Rooted in the Lower East Side—a historic site of cultural experimentation and social change—AAI fosters practices that question, challenge, and reimagine. Committed to supporting individual artists and connecting art with the public, AAI expands the role of contemporary art in public life.
AAI’s core initiatives include the Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space, the LES Studio Program, and Public Works. These programs provide artists with time, space, and resources to experiment, take risks, and push their practices forward. AAI supports artists through fully-funded residencies, paid exhibitions, and commissioned projects. Centering its exhibition program inside Essex Market, AAI connects contemporary art with everyday life, creating space for critical engagement, dialogue, and new ways of seeing.

Open Arts LES 2020 Interview
The majority of our programs are accessible through open calls. No model is perfect, but we feel like that is one of the more democratic models for people to access our opportunities. – Jodi Waynberg
