IT CAME FROM chashama highlights works from the chashama Collection which accentuate the diversity of media and subject matter tackled by our artists. The collection is an amalgamation of hundreds of works created by studio artists past and present while in residence in the chashama Studio Program. The exhibition bolsters chashama’s efforts to support and present a wide range of artists to the public of New York.

Founded by Anita Durst in 1995, chashama has been at the forefront of the movement to provide vital opportunities to artists of all stripes and expose new audiences to art through creative space redistribution. Landowners donate temporarily vacant properties that chashama recycles into creative hubs, and grants to artists, organizations and youth arts programs at free or highly subsidized rates. In the past year, chashama distributed $2 million worth of space to over 500 artists, reaching an audience of nearly 200,000.
