West Side Fest 2024

Founded in 1971, The Kitchen expands upon its originating vision as a dynamic cultural institution that centers artists, prioritizes people, and puts process first. Programming in a kunsthalle model that brings together live performances, exhibition-making, and other public programming under one roof, The Kitchen empowers its communities to think creatively and radically about what it means to shape a sustainable future in art. The Kitchen cultivates wild thought, risky play, and innovative making at its temporary satellite space within Westbeth Artists Housing while its 19th Street home undergoes renovations as part of a capital campaign to support avant-garde futures.
