Exhibition by Francisca BentezDirect Action was a solo exhibition by artist and activist Francisca Bentez, exploring accessible public space through protest and performance. The project addressed the ethics of dissent and solidarity, positioning direct action as a creative methodology. Bentezs work, deeply rooted in community activism in Lower Manhattan, transformed Storefront into a participatory platform, hosting rehearsals, workshops, and public programs with groups including Art Against Displacement, East River Park Action, and Asamblea Popular de Chile en Nueva York.By foregrounding artistic labor within activist networks, the exhibition revealed how art can engender collective resistance and reimagine urban space. A metronome fashioned from New Yorks streetscape, vocal performances, and protest artifacts animated the gallery and extended its reach into the city.Direct Action formed part of On the Ground, a yearlong initiative focused on the politics of New Yorks ground floor, encompassing exhibitions, broadcasts, and public dialogue.Support:Funded by the Graham Foundation, Ruth Foundation for the Arts, National Endowment for the Arts, New York State Council on the Arts, NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, Storefronts Board, Circle, members, and individual donors.

Exhibition by Ilana Harris-BabouUnder My Feet by Ilana Harris-Babou transformed Storefront into an immersive homage to the artists upbringing in Central Brooklyn. Through layered sound, image, and video installations, the exhibition recreated her childhood landscapeProspect Lefferts Gardens, East Flatbush, and Crown Heightscentering Afro-Caribbean immigrant communities.Harris-Babou spotlighted neighborhood institutions like the African Record Centre and Lefferts Gardens Montessori, recognizing their roles in fostering Afro-diasporic knowledge and autonomy. The exhibition interrogated displacement and gentrification, while reclaiming intergenerational memory and imagining futures rooted in community self-determination.Under My Feet honored spaces of witness, play, and learningskipping sidewalk cracks, exploring beneath bodegas, and listening to local soundshighlighting the critical role of place in shaping identity and collective resilience.Support:Funded by the Graham Foundation, Ruth Foundation for the Arts, National Endowment for the Arts, NYSCA, NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, Storefronts Board, Circle, members, and individual donors.

IT IS A GOOD PROJECT AND SHOULD BE BUILTExhibition by Fred Schmidt-ArenalesThis exhibition presented a three-channel video installation interrogating the $57 billion Texas Coastal Barrier Project, known as the Ike Dike. Fred Schmidt-Arenales used documentary and speculative storytelling to explore the psychological and bureaucratic underpinnings of this massive coastal infrastructure effort.By juxtaposing real governmental hearings with fictionalized interactions between bureaucratic avatars, the project illuminated the murky processes shaping environmental policy and urban development. The work raised critical questions about resilience and the ecological consequences of large-scale infrastructural interventions, engaging viewers in considering how they might intervene in such opaque systems.Presented as part of Swamplandsa yearlong Storefront initiative exploring the entanglements of water, land, and society in the Gulf of Mexicothe project expanded the institutions transregional exploration of wetlands and urban precarity.Support:Funded by the Mellon Foundation, Ruth Foundation for the Arts, NYSCA, NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, The Stolbun Family, Storefronts Board, Circle, members, and individual donors.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
