a living repository of an indelible artistic history
without which we would be vastly poorer"
- The New York Times, October 2010
Dear Friend,
THANK YOU for 30 Years!
For thirty years audience members like you have been coming to Performance Space 122 seeking thought-inspiring, risk-taking, and culturally provocative live art. All the hard work that our artists and staff do, we do because we believe that contemporary performance is the most valuable thing we can give you. Thank you for coming to see our shows - even the ones that made you cry, confused, or want to tear your hair out.
We knew the real fallout of the 2008 economic crisis was yet to come, and now it has landed: 13% cuts in foundation support combined with 16% cuts in city and state support means that our budget has taken a $78,000 hit this year. We're working on a number of solutions to bridge the gap - but we still need you and your support.
That's why we are asking you to give now and help us reach our goal of $30,000 by December 31st. The good news is that we have already secured $15,000 toward that goal. With your help we can continue to bring you the best contemporary performance. Please join your fellow audience members and become a PS122 Friend with Benefits. Thank you.
"PS122 is very important to me and has been for many decades...
PS122 feels so personal, nothing fake about it...
So many memorable performances...
Like New York City,
PS122 has gotten under my skin."

It's what PS122 has done for three decades
