  Space 776 Gallery is located in the heart of Chelsea, New York, providing an excellent collection of contemporary art. It exhibits emerging and mid-career artists working in various media, from live multimedia performance art to traditional oil paintings. The gallery hosts artists from around the world who showcase their work at local and international art fairs such as Volta New York, Volta Basel, Art Miami, Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary, and Art Busan. Artist and director Jongwon Lee opened Space 776 in Bushwick, Brooklyn, in 2013. In 2020, the gallery moved to its current location at 37-39 Clinton Street in Manhattan's Lower East Side. Space 776 also opened a location in Seoul, South Korea, in 2020, following the gallery's mission to facilitate international exchange between local New York artists and the Korean art community. 

  The 2023 IYAC New York Youth Art Competition, now in its third year, provides participants with the opportunity to raise awareness of social issues through creative work, emphasize the power of art and the value of communication, and share various perspectives and opinions through art.
