The Dirt Palace is a feminist non-profit arts space founded in 2000. [1] The Dirt Palace is located within a re-purposed library building in the Olneyville neighborhood of Providence, Rhode Island and includes living spaces, a wood shop, a print shop, practice spaces, studio spaces and a zine library. The collective's gallery space, The Storefront Window gallery, features work by residents and guest artists.[2] Founding Members still involved with the project include Xander Marro and Pippi Zornoza. Artists who have participated in residencies at Dirt Palace include J.R. Uretsky, Mickey Zacchilli, and Jungil Hong.[3]
In 2010, the collective was featured in the Museum of Modern Art's book, Modern Women: Women Artists at the Museum of Modern Art.[4] The collective was also featured in the 2014 exhibit by Creative Time and Independent Curators International, Living as Form (Nomadic version) at Harvard University's Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts.[5] In 2018, the Dirt Palace purchased the Wedding Cake House, and is currently renovating the building with the intent to establish a short term artist residency program supported by a bed and breakfast.[6]
The collective has been identified as part of the new wave of radical feminist art spaces in A People's Art History of the United States,[7] and as a part of the riot grrrl zine movement in Modern Women:Women Artists at the Modern Museum of Art.[4] The Dirt Palace is a recipient of a seed grant from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation.[8]
