The Emily Harvey Foundation
Venice Residency Program
Will End In 2026

 The Board of Trustees of the Emily Harvey Foundation has decided to conclude the Foundation’s Venice residency program at the end of 2026. The residency program, launched in 2004, provided more than 750 artists and writers with free accommodations in Venice. During that period, the Foundation also presented more than 70 exhibitions, performances, and related events in our gallery located in the city’s San Polo district. The Board extends its gratitude to all the artists, curators, and collaborators who have contributed to the residency’s success over the years.

The Foundation will continue to present exhibitions and performances in our New York space, located in a historic cast-iron building at 537 Broadway. This program will continue to draw on the rich history Emily Harvey created through her innovative gallery from 1984 to 2004. The program will also draw on the Foundation’s unique collection of artworks, grounded in Fluxus, concept art, mail art, sound poetry, visual poetry, and performance art.

During the coming year, the trustees will develop a plan for the Foundation’s future direction. While we remain committed to experimental, collaborative, and cross-disciplinary approaches to the art of our time, we will reconsider the Foundation's appropriate role in a rapidly changing art world.
