WhiteBox is thrilled to announce its inaugural Summer ‘23 Artists Residencies select participants and the two finalists to be showcased in ‘The Front Window’ exhibition. This succinct group of artists shares a variegated yet remarkable coherence in their opus, intrinsic to our contemporary complex social, political, and artistic contexts, allowing us to visualize, via their fresh new works, an exciting residency program. It will be followed by a curated residents’ group exhibition, making their discourse palpable from each of their particular aesthetic corners, yet summed in coherence with the surrounding human and social needs in today’s challenging urban environment.

WhiteBox is a platform inspired by the diversity of human and local cultural histories pertaining to art in all its manifestations, constantly taking the pulse of our critical times. A forum for reflection with an inventive contemporary artistic and political vision, WBX provides local artists and curators with sustained, equitable exposure as it nurtures a fresh environment for more in-depth local and emigrè cultural engagement, aiming to create real-life healing dialogues between underserved Lower East Side community audiences and artists’ practices.
