Black Ball Projects is a Brooklyn-based art organization dedicated to supporting and showcasing contemporary artists who have been overlooked by the mainstream art world. With a focus on diversity in all its forms, Black Ball Projects aims to provide a platform for underexposed artists and foster a more inclusive art community. Through their annual Micro-Grant program, Black Ball Projects recognizes and supports talented artists who have been working on the fringes of the art scene. In addition to their grant recipients, they also celebrate and promote the work of their nominees, creating opportunities for artists to gain exposure and recognition for their creative endeavors.Generated from the website

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
