Our Mission 

The Empty Circle is a space dedicated to artistic creation and dialogue. We collaborate with both emerging and established artists—often providing emerging voices with their first New York City exhibition. Our programs encourage experimentation in both process and presentation, moving beyond traditional exhibition formats to spark meaningful exchanges between artists and audiences. We present work across diverse mediums, fostering connections between disciplines, cultures, and generations. Based in New York City, we provide vital platforms and public exhibition opportunities for artists from around the world.


Like water filling a pond, which is always ready to flow off again, it can work its inexhaustible power because it is free, and it can be open to everything because it is empty
