99 Canal is an artist-run program based in the heart of Lower Manhattan, New York City. Fostering a community-centered environment, we facilitate artists' access to professional studios and public exposure to experimental practices, with a strong emphasis on moving image and performance art.

As a 501(c)3 Non-Profit, both our Studio & Public Program encourage artists to lead urgent conversations and collaborative projects, sharing their open-ended work and ideas with a dedicated audience.

Our Substack is where we archive our past and collectively imagine our future. We envision this platform as a way to deeply engage with friends near and far in shaping 99 Canal’s ever-evolving practice.

Paid subscriptions are an integral part of our collective effort to sustain 99 Canal’s archiving mission. By subscribing, you directly contribute to our documentation work that thrives through community support, ensuring public access to the kinds of thoughtful, artist-led thinking that might not happen otherwise.

99+ extends our mission internationally, partnering with institutions, brands, real estate projects, and patrons to activate spaces through context-aware programming. We are creating a new model of patronage, one that brings cultural value to local communities while sustaining 99 Canal’s growing archive for artist-led work.
