A bastion for visionary artists since 1986, Dixon Place (DP) is a non-profit institution dedicated to supporting the development and presentation of original work in all genres of performing and literary arts. With an abiding commitment to racial justice and gender equity, diversity is a mandate and artist remuneration a priority. In a professional, compassionate environment, artists are inspired and
encouraged to take risks, generate new ideas, and execute new practices.

After DP was pioneered in its founder’s home, the organization and venue grew exponentially and in 2009 opened a 6000 sq. ft. physically accessible facility with a 120 seat, state-of-the-art theater and a cocktail lounge with an intimate performing space and art gallery, in downtown Manhattan.

While artists such as Blue Man Group, Lisa Kron, and John Leguizamo began their careers at DP, established artists have appeared over the years such as Justin Vivian Bond, Alan Cumming, Niles Ford, Taylor Mac, Terry McMillan, Vernon Reid, Wallace Shawn, Martha Wainwright, and BD Wong, to name a few.

Providing incomparable opportunities for artists of all stripes and callings, and endowing audiences with accessible, memorable, enriching cultural experiences, Dixon Place has successfully supported artistic achievement for 35 years, contributing significantly to NYC’s cultural landscape.
