Established in 2011, Spaceworks is a nonprofit cultural community development organization dedicated to expanding the supply of long-term, affordable rehearsal and studio space for artists working in New York City.

They develop space for all New Yorkers to gather and engage in their creative and cultural practices.

Spaceworks strives to develop projects that become resources for artists and communities. At each of its facilities, Spaceworks works with community-based program partners to offer affordable programming to local residents.

Spaceworks collaborates with local community and cultural organizations to build long-term connections between artists and the neighborhoods where they produce work. Program partners provide classes, services and other free offerings to artists who use the spaces as well as the local community.
