About Us
Since our beginning, The LP has centered the voices, cultures, imaginations, knowledge, and leadership of people of color (POC). We do this to push against complex systemic injustices in pursuit of a world in which all people—across race, ethnicity, class, age, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, disability status, and migration status—are free to be their whole selves.
Bed-Stuy Happenings
The Laundromat Project is proud to be putting roots down in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.
We offer a variety of community programs out of our storefront on Fulton Street, designed to provide accessible arts education and opportunities for Bed-Stuy community members. Check out what’s new in our neighborhood!
Opportunities for Artists
We have many opportunities for artists based in New York City! Since 2005, The Laundromat Project has directly invested over $1M in 200+ multiracial, multigenerational, and multidisciplinary artists; 86 innovative public art projects; and a creative community hub in Bed-Stuy, while engaging over 48,000 New Yorkers across the city and beyond.

We work with artists and cultural producers who are interested in developing and deepening a collaborative, community-based, and socially-engaged creative practice.
Our Artists
We make sustained investments in growing a community of multiracial, multigenerational, and multidisciplinary artists and neighbors committed to societal change by supporting their artmaking, community building, and leadership development.
