Since 1993, HERE has been one of New York’s most prolific producing organisations, and today, it stands at the forefront of the city’s presenters of daring new hybrid art.
HERE supports multidisciplinary work that does not fit into a conventional programming agenda. Their aesthetic represents the independent, the innovative, and the experimental.
HERE has developed acclaimed works as Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues; Basil Twist’s Symphonie Fantastique; Basil Twist and Joey Arias' Arias with a Twist; Hazelle Goodman’s On Edge; Young Jean Lee's Songs of The Dragons Flying To Heaven; Trey Lyford & Geoff Sobelle’s all wear bowlers; Faye Driscoll's 837 Venice Boulevard; Taylor Mac's The Lily's Revenge and original musical and dance works created and directed by HERE Co-Founder and Artistic Director Kristin Marting.
The New York Times has called HERE 'one of the most unusual arts spaces in New York and possibly the model for the cutting-edge arts spaces of tomorrow.'
HERE has become successful at creating a new kind of arts enterprise—the collaborative militarist centre. In 17 years, HERE Arts centre supported over 12,000 artists and attracted over 950,000 arts patrons. They aim to integrate art into daily life and engage the community’s needs and interests on as many different levels as possible to ensure a regular presence in their lives.
HERE supports the work of artists at all stages in their careers through fully-produced works, commissions and subsidised performance and rehearsal space. In addition, HERE’s staff provides marketing, technical and administrative support. All work at HERE is curated based on the strength and uniqueness of the artist’s vision.
Over the last 17 years, HERE and the work presented in HERE have garnered 16 OBIE awards, two OBIE grants for artistic achievement, a 2006 Edwin Booth Award (“for Outstanding Contribution to NY Theatre”) from the CUNY Graduate Center, five Drama Desk nominations, two Berrilla Kerr Awards, four NY Innovative Theatre Awards and a Pulitzer Prize nomination.
