Mission
Amant is a non-profit arts organization in Brooklyn, NY. Founded in 2019, we are a non-collecting institution that fosters experimentation and dialogue through exhibitions, public programs, and artist residencies.
The core of Amant’s mission is to advance the presentation of contemporary art by providing a platform for pioneering exhibitions of visual art, media and performance art, and discursive events. We support both established and mid-career international and local artists who work across diverse creative fields. We are committed to building cultural partnerships with like-minded organizations in the U.S. and abroad while still activating new and ongoing conversations with our local communities.
Our approach is informed by Study Lines that bring together artists with ideas and issue through collaborative projects and new contexts. We are interested in cultivating new meanings and non-hierarchical forms of knowledge rather than in dividing disciplines.
Amant is a nonprofit 501©(3) organization and has been certified by W.A.G.E.
