Announcing Move to New Headquarters in Tribeca

ISLAA is excited to announce its move to 142 Franklin Street in Tribeca in fall 2023. In addition to serving as ISLAA’s new headquarters, the location will feature a large exhibition space and research center.

Marking the start of a significant chapter for ISLAA, the move from the Upper East Side to its new downtown location will signify ISLAA’s expansion toward greater public-facing activities. The ground floor of the 8,650-square-foot headquarters will feature a public exhibition space dedicated to presenting works from ISLAA’s collection. The building’s sublevel space will host public events and programs organized in collaboration with university partners and will house a research center that will provide access to the ISLAA Library and Archives.

Since 2011, ISLAA has expanded scholarship, public engagement, and the international visibility of art from Latin America through its program of exhibitions, publishing, research, and partnerships. These programs frequently engage ISLAA’s collection of modern and contemporary Latin American art, which is in dialogue with the contents of the ISLAA Library and Archives.

ISLAA works with educational and art institutions to foster scholarship and intellectual exchange, providing resources and programs oriented toward scholars, arts professionals, and broad audiences. These partnerships include the ISLAA Forum, a series of graduate student workshops; the Artist Seminar Initiative, which supports coursework and on-campus exhibitions; ISLAA’s decade-long, multifaceted partnerships with Columbia University and the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University; the ISLAA Curatorial Fellowship at the New Museum, a program in support of exhibition and programming initiatives by emerging curators; and support of the Jaime Davidovich Foundation.
