WhiteBox is a pioneering alternative art space that emerged in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood nearly twenty-four years ago. Founded by a group of international emigre artists, architects, and intellectuals, WhiteBox aimed to address the lack of social, political, and international art engagement in the New York-centric art scene. Over the years, WhiteBox has evolved into a vibrant cultural hub, offering a range of exhibitions, special events, and arts education programs that foster inclusivity and engage with diverse communities.
With its relocation to the Lower East Side and later to Alphabet City in the East Village, WhiteBox continued its mission of cultural engagement and community outreach. The organization has extended its services to underserved communities, including vibrant Latino, Hispanic, Afro-Caribbean, and immigrant populations. Through its diverse and accessible programs, WhiteBox strives to strengthen ties with the local citizenry, while also emphasizing youth education in the arts, urban sustainability, and progressive curatorial initiatives.
