📣 Project for Empty Space is proud to announce the Cycle 10 Artists in Residence: Aimee Koran (@aimeekoran ), Amy Ritter (@aritterface ), CAZORLA + SALEME (@threadingtrends ) (@patcazorla ), Danielle De Jesus (@DanielleDeJesus1 ), and Zalika Azim (@26thletter ). Congratulations! 🎉
➡️ The PES Artist In Residence Program is an annual initiative that invites visual artists working in socially engaged practices to develop their work in Newark, New Jersey. Over the course of the two-year residency, artists receive studio space at 800 Broad Street, funding, and professional development opportunities—including studio visits and critical feedback sessions—along with the chance to lead community programs inspired by their practice. The residency culminates in a solo exhibition showcasing the new work created during their time at PES.
➡️ Now in its tenth cycle, the AIR Program has a multifaceted mission intended to benefit both the artists and a larger audience. The program strives to create a symbiotic relationship between artists and audiences, serving as a conduit for innovative artistic practice and meaningful community engagement, while cultivating dialogue around social equity and activism that is often overlooked.
👏 We are excited to support this new cohort as they embark on their residency, creating work that bridges art, community, and social impact, and continuing PES’s ongoing mission to connect artists and audiences in transformative dialogue. 👏

🎨👜 What a way to celebrate one year of Espacio de Culturas!
Our Fridays on the Patio tote bag painting workshop with CAZORLA + SALEME was filled with lots of color, creativity, and community. Each bag told its own story, from bold designs to personal touches, and we loved seeing everyone make the space their own.✨
Thank you to all who came out to paint, snack, celebrate! See you at our next FOTP!

✨ GRANT HIGHLIGHT | CAZORLA + SALEME (@threadingtrends ) (@patcazorla ) | “Streets of Newark”: The Book
➡️ “Street of Newark” is an artist’s book that traces the transformation of Downtown Newark over the past decade through intimate acts of walking, looking, and belonging, beginning with a winter arrival in 2011. Blending archival and contemporary images, conversations with key community members, and contributions from local artists through art and poetry, the book weaves together past and present as a visual testimony to Newark’s evolving identity.
🔹This year’s fund is made possible by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts Regional Regranting Program @warholfoundation 💫 Learn more at newarkartistaccelerator.org

Join us for Art in DUMBO: First Thursday Gallery Walk!
📍 Adams Street Public Library
📬 9 Adams Street, Brooklyn
🕕 6–8 PM
The pieces in the exhibition are conceived after long walks through the Brooklyn Bridge Park. It is a combination of photography, with slight digital alterations, and digital painting. The large pieces are (48 x 36 inches), printed in Dibond and Sintra, all archival and mounted on French cleats. There is a mini installation, very dear to us, composed of 35 prints on individual wooden panels of 5 x 5 inches, painted by hand along their borders. The color palette is carefully chosen to reflect the four seasons, starting with Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall.
All the works are available for sale individually, including the multi-panelled installation of 5 x 5 mini-prints. We will have a limited edition of photographs (8 x 10 inches) on-site this Thursday.
We hope to see you there!
