Cardinal Spellman Center

WhiteBox is a pioneering alternative art space that emerged in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood nearly 24 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 site-specific works, 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 expanded its reach to underserved communities, including the vibrant Latino Hispanic and Afro-Caribbean population in East Harlem. The organization's commitment to youth education in the arts, urban sustainability, and progressive curatorial programs has strengthened its ties with the local citizenry and solidified its position as a dynamic force in the New York art scene.Generated from the website
