Le Petit Versailles (LPV) is a public garden located in New York City’s East Village. Created in 1997 by the artist organization Allied Productions and other neighborhood members, it is part of New York City’s GreenThumb community garden program. LPV is dedicated to preserving the vitality of NYC green space through the arts, broadening & enriching the general public with performances, screenings, workshops, and similar activities.

Located at 346 East Houston St. @ Avenue C. in the East Village, the lot is approximately 22 x 60 feet and sits between two buildings that border 2nd St. and Houston St. It has a formal, unified design with an arbor containing areas designated for seating and gathering, plus a small stage platform and additional bench seating.

We are looking for events and projects across a wide range of artistic disciplines. Preference is given to unusual ideas, as well as more traditional presentations, that address environmental, social, and progressive issues, as well as those that take into consideration the site-specific nature of the garden itself. Temporary installations, performances, films, and workshops in any discipline are desired. Programs, exhibitions and other public activities are primarily scheduled seasonally from spring to fall. In rare circumstances, winter projects are programmed. Exhibitions must include works that can withstand the rigors of both nature and public space in an urban setting. LPV will coordinate some logistical elements, however artists must possess a high level of self sufficiency and embrace the DIY (Do It Yourself) ethos of the garden. LPV is entirely artist run, and as such we have limited administrative and technical capacities.

Although LPV often provides artist fees and other administrative/ technical support, LPV is unable to fund all approved proposals. Please indicate if your proposal can be realized without financial support from LPV.

Additionally, it is strongly recommended you view past examples of LPV projects.
