HERE Arts Center is a New York City based off-off broadway presenting house, founded in 1993, with two stages specializing in hybrid performance, dance, theater, multi-media and puppetry. From 1993-2009, HERE supported over 12,000 artists and served approximately 950,000 audience members. HERE supports the work of artists at all stages in their careers through fully produced works, commissions and subsidized performance and rehearsal space.
HERE describes their mission as “supporting artists' independence within an interdependent community. The HERE community provides the artist with access, arts management innovation, and nonprofit enterprise. We measure our success by the lively, active exchange that occurs in our spaces daily. With this in mind, our seasons are driven by the needs of our community.â€
They are located in SoHo on 145 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10013 between Spring and Broome. The space has been totally rebuilt and redesigned for 5 months and for the first time since 1993. This renovation had a cost of a million dollars. It happened at the beginning of 2008 and was the occasion for a big reopening gala in June, gathering together a few productions that happened to be important to HERE in some way.
