Join us for #Give2Grace, A seven-day fundraiser for Grace Exhibition Space about witnessing and giving to sustain a vital resource for local and international Performance Artists, and secure the future of our organization. #Give2Grace includes video premieres, interviews, and a live panel discussion beginning Tuesday, September 22 through Monday, September 28. Featured GES performance alumni include Miao Jiaxin, Martin O’Brien, Arantxa Araujo, Nicole Goodwin, Kris Grey, Alex Romania, Nicola Fornoni, along with current resident artists, Dee Dee Maucher and Dragonfly.

The artists in this program are alums of Grace Exhibition Space and have in common that they have all presented work at the new Manhattan venue. Embracing a wide range of practices from body-based work to social or relational work, the roster of accomplished performance artists within this micro-retrospective will embody nuances within the limitless medium of Performance Art.

Grace Exhibition Space is evolving. Relocating to Manhattan renewed our energy and doubled down on our dedication to champion Performance Art in all its forms. A silver lining during this pandemic is that we have been given an opportunity to reflect and find ways to grow and thrive as a continued resource for artists and audiences around the world. We need support in order to make this happen. Our goal is $10,000. Funds raised during this campaign will ensure 2020-21 programming and allow us to grow our staff for a development coordinator.

All #Give2Grace activities will be streamed on our website and Facebook Page. #Give2Grace donations can be made through Paypal, Venmo, or ActBlue.

Our mission is the glorification of performance art, please donate today to ensure our mission continues.
