West Side Fest 2024

White Columns is New York's oldest alternative art space. The organization was founded in 1970 by artists including Gordon Matta-Clark and Jeffrey Lew at 112 Greene Street in SoHo as an experimental platform for art. The pioneering space became more formally organized in the mid-1970s as a not-for-profit, and in 1980 changed its name to White Columns. For the next forty years, the organization has been based in New York’s West Village / Meatpacking District. White Columns provides support to artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial attention.
