About Storefront

Mission Statement
Founded in 1982, Storefront for Art and Architecture is a nonprofit organization committed to advancing innovative positions in art, architecture and design. Our program of exhibitions, events and publications are intended to generate dialogue and collaboration across geographic, ideological and disciplinary boundaries.

The Storefront Facade
In 1993, Storefront commissioned a collaborative building project by artist Vito Acconci and architect Steven Holl. The project replaced the existing faÁade with a series of twelve panels that pivot vertically or horizontally to open the entire length of the gallery directly onto the street. The project blurs the boundary between interior and exterior and, by placing the panels in different configurations, creates a multitude of different possible facades. Now regarded as a contemporary architectural landmark, Storefrontís faÁade is visited by artists, architects and students from around the world.

The Archive Project
In 2003, on the occasion of our twentieth anniversary, Storefront organized and presented “The Archive Project,” a major exhibition that transformed Storefront’s archives into a public exhibition. The archive is now maintained as an ongoing scholarly resource for students, critics, historians and others interested in experimental work in art and architecture over the past two decades. The archive is open by appointment to all interested in art and architecture.
