Founded in 1974, 80 Washington Square East (80WSE) at New York University is a not-for-profit gallery presenting contemporary and historical exhibitions. The gallery also programs two further locations, Broadway Windows at Broadway and East 10th Street, and Washington Square Windows, adjacent to the main gallery.
Each winter/spring, the gallery hosts MFA Thesis, BFA Honors, and Costume Studies exhibitions by students of the Department of Art and Art Professions at New York University’s Steinhardt School.
80 Washington Square East resides in the historic Benedick Building (below, c. 1925) at Washington Square Park, originally commissioned in 1879 by iron manufacturer and Metropolitan Museum trustee Lucius Tuckerman. The building once contained the studios of painters Winslow Homer and Albert Pinkham Ryder.
