Soft Network is an emerging arts nonprofit founded by artists and legacy workers. Soft Network aims to develop and expand access to new artist legacy models and networks of support for under-resourced, socially engaged artists, estates and archives.
At its Manhattan studio and in partnership with other organizations, Soft Network produces public programming and exhibitions with a focus on vital yet vulnerable experimental art practices and their histories.
