Issue Project Room

ISSUE Project Room is a pioneering Brooklyn-based performance nonprofit founded in 2003, presenting projects by interdisciplinary artists that expand the boundaries of artistic practice and stimulate critical dialogue in the broader community. ISSUE serves as a leading cultural incubator, facilitating the commission and premiere of innovative new works spanning genres of music, dance, literature and film. Playing a vital role in NYC’s cultural ecology, ISSUE facilitates the commission and premiere of new works and presents a diverse array of artists. Programming places an emphasis on bringing recognition to creative practitioners whose important contributions to the artistic field are underrepresented, often as a result of the artists’ gender, sexuality, or geographic location. Through the cultivation of innovative new work, ISSUE performs an essential research and development function that fosters a dynamic influx of ideas into the local, national, and international creative landscape.
