Our Mission

Sokoloff Arts (501c3) is an emerging cultural institution providing inspired space, hi-tech production resources, and financial support for cutting edge events in all sectors of The Arts, Corporate, Civic, and Cultural life in New York City. Sokoloff Arts works to provide viable and safe space to congregate, strives to promote cross-cultural community engagement, and blends the arts and business to create sustainable solutions to social and financial inequalities. 

We assist young creators with not only space, but resource generation, production, and community.

For 5 years, Sokoloff Arts has provided spaces to congregate at it's first location, Loft227. To address the overwhelming demand for hi-tech and flexible performance and event space in New York City, Sokoloff Arts is now building Town Stages.
