HERE Arts Center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Founded in 1993, HERE Arts Center is a New York City based off-off broadway presenting house with two stages specializing in hybrid performance, dance, theater, multi-media and puppetry. From 1993-2006, HERE supported over 11,100 artists and served approximately 850,000 audience members. HERE supports the work of artists at all stages in their careers through fully-produced works, commissions and subsidized performance and rehearsal space.
HERE describes their mission as “supporting artists' independence within an interdependent community. The HERE community provides the artist with access, arts management innovation, and nonprofit enterprise. We measure our success by the lively, active exchange that occurs in our spaces daily. With this in mind, our seasons are driven by the needs of our community.”
They are located in SoHo at 145 Sixth Ave (between Spring and Broome) and the box office can be reached at 212.352.3101.
