White Columns is New York City’s oldest alternative non-profit space. White Columns is known as a show case for up and coming artists. It is primarily devoted to emerging artists who are not affiliated with galleries. All work submitted is looked at by the director. Some of the artists receive studio visits and some of those artists are exhibited. White Columns maintained a Slide Registry of emerging artists which is now an online Curated Artist Registry.

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or columns:
“It seemed a long way from 143rd Street. Shaking hands with the Queen of England was a long way from being forced to sit in the colored section of the bus going into downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. Dancing with the Duke of Devonshire was a long way from not being allowed to bowl in Jefferson City, Missouri, because the white customers complained about it.”
—Althea Gibson (b. 1927)
“When I heard the learn’d astronomer,
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
