White Box’s mission is to promote a diversity of contemporary art and to showcase programs of artists, curators, and other art related professionals. Additionally, White Box presents student and adult educational programs such as lectures, performance, films and video screenings, art and culture trips here and abroad, thereby linking the contemporary arts with current US and global aesthetic and ethical issues. Located in the heart of the Chelsea art district, White Box has selected its location purposely to contrast the overriding art market and merchandising environment. Instead White Box presents a non-commercial museum quality and historically relevant annual program.
