Welcome to Project for Empty Space's Submittable!

Project for Empty Space (PES) is a multifaceted arts organization that includes Exhibitions, Artists Residencies, Public Art initiatives, subsidized Artist Studios, and Artist Professional Development/Granting opportunities. Our programs lean into social discourse, including narratives that have been historically and systemically erased. We strive to course-correct historic instances of forced marginality, in-equity, and in-visibility. Today, in our efforts to support socially-oriented artists, we maintain a commitment to holding space for both looking back and looking to new potentials and futures.

We currently invite artists to apply for opportunities connected to our new public art partnership with RWJBarnabas Health, including a large-scale mural commission at 604 Market Street in Newark’s Ironbound neighborhood, as well as to join the Newark Artists Database — a free platform created to highlight and celebrate artists whose creative practices are rooted in Newark.
