FLAG is closed Saturday, December 21-Wednesday, January 1. We will re-open on Thursday, January 2, 11AM.

The FLAG Art Foundation is a non-collecting, nonprofit exhibition space that mounts solo, two-person, and thematic group exhibitions centering on emerging and established artists from around the globe. Organized by a diverse community of curators and thinkers within and beyond the art world, FLAG opened to the public in 2008 and has staged over 100 exhibitions celebrating the work of nearly 1,000 artists. Committed to providing education and resources for its surrounding community, and across New York City, all exhibitions and programs—including artist talks, artist-led workshops, and guided tours for school and museum groups—are free and open to the public. 

FLAG provides various projects, prizes, and initiatives that offer dynamic support to contemporary artists. Its recurring Spotlight series features a new or never-before-exhibited artwork accompanied by a commissioned piece of writing, encouraging focused and thoughtful dialogues between the visual arts and critics, scholars, poets, and beyond. The Suzanne Deal Booth/FLAG Art Foundation Prize comprises a $200,000 unrestricted award to an artist along with two solo exhibitions—originating at The Contemporary Austin, Austin, TX, and traveling to FLAG—an accompanying publication, and related public programming. Over the years, FLAG has collaborated with local, national, and international organizations including Art & Newport, Newport, RI, The Harlem Children’s Zone, New York, NY, The Lab and Museum School, New York, NY, New Curators, London, UK, and New York Road Runners, New York, NY, to reach an audience of all ages and backgrounds.
