In Fall 2023, ISSUE Project Room celebrates its 20 year anniversary with a series of commissioned programs, orbiting around our annual Gala and affiliated Benefit events. 

Since its inception in 2003 under the vision of late Founder Suzanne Fiol, ISSUE has evolved from a small East Village garage, to a grain silo on the Gowanus Canal, to a project space in The Old American Can Factory, to now owning our 22 Boerum Place theater as an internationally-recognized leader for fostering experimental cross-disciplinary performance. 

The evening, including a Gala concert and pre-reception, will include presentations & performances from Laurie Spiegel & Seth Cluett, Fred Moten & Jean Carla Rodea, Sarah Hennies, Joan La Barbara & BINT, and more participating artists to be announced.
