The Poetry Project is a New York-based performing arts organization established in 1966 at St. Mark's Church in the East Village. It supports poets, writers, artists, and performers whose work is experimental and aims to bring fresh aesthetic, cultural, philosophical, and political perspectives to contemporary society. Operating as a small to mid-sized arts organization, it serves a community of practitioners seeking innovative forms of expression and dialogue with audiences. The group maintains a program of collaboration with external partners, including Metrocentre Partnership in 2022 and African Diaspora in December 2022 to support exhibitions and launches. While based in New York, the organization participates in activities within the broader performing arts field.
