Art Spaces Archives Project [AS-AP]
Overview of AS-AP
Art Spaces Archives Project [AS-AP] is a non-profit initiative founded in 2003 by a consortium of alternative arts organizations, including Bomb Magazine, the College Art Association, Franklin Furnace Archive, New York State Council on the Arts [NYSCA], New York State Artist Workspace Consortium, and The Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, with a mandate to help preserve, present, and protect the archival heritage of living and defunct for- and not-for-profit art spaces in the United States from the 1950's to the present.
AS-AP’s mission is beyond simply identifying the whereabouts of centers of artistic activity. We also acknowledge that there is an underlying need to document, assess, catalog, and preserve important formative materials for study by historians with a critical distance from the creation of the material itself.
