The Space Program, a national program in its 21st year and located in Brooklyn, NY (DUMBO), provides free studios that are non-living spaces for the making of new works of art. 

Marie Walsh Sharpe, a Colorado Springs, CO philanthropist, created the Foundation before her death in 1985 to benefit visual artists.   The Foundation’s Artists Advisory Committee: Cynthia Carlson, Janet Fish, Philip Pearlstein, Irving Sandler, Harriet Shorr, Robert Storr and Chuck Close, Emeritus initiated and developed The Space Program in 1991 as a service to artists.  In 2006 Phong Bui, Matthew Deleget and Tara Donovan were added to the Artists Advisory Committee.  Please visit our website at www.sharpeartfdn.org for more information.
