Exit Art today (October 2026)

Exit Art closed in 2012, thirty years after Jeanette Ingberman and Papo Colo founded it in New York. Its final exhibition was Every Exit Is an Entrance: 30 Years of Exit Art. Ingberman died in 2011. There are no current exhibitions, events or visiting hours.

This site is an independently maintained archive of Exit Art's mission, history and exhibition programs. It is not run by Exit Art or its founders.
