99 Canal is an artist-run Studio and Public Program.

As a 501(c)3 Non-Profit, our mission is to facilitate artists' access to affordable professional studios and expose the public to live, experimental practices in Lower Manhattan, New York City.

We are providing space for artists to be in dialogue with artists, understanding the urgency of sharing open-ended work and ideas with a dedicated public. By supporting experimental practices such as moving images and performance art, we’re building a responsive platform for cultural engagement and community-rooted patronage.

Our Substack is where we archive and engage with friends near and far in shaping our ever-evolving program.

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.
