SLEEPCENTER, initially established in 2015 on the harmonious Monroe street of Chinatown, New York City, is a transnational independent 501c (3) and C.I.C (Community Interest Company) not-for-profit agency for art and ideas that provides local communities and international audiences with a forum for “Cultural +” dialogue. SLEEPCENTER now operates with two exhibition spaces in New York City and has offices in London, Shanghai and Shenzhen.
After 50 fruitful public programs, the once shabby art space gradually evolved into a sustainable bi-lingual transdisciplinary cultural agency, which provides a variety of steady public programs and social services. To further facilitate our mission, we launched three interactively supporting and stimulating initiatives in 2020: SCCreativeService, SCNewsstand, and SCMultiverse, which together formed our improved operating framework. By putting our operating body to test, SLEEPCENTER seeks to provide an alternative open-sourced template for our colleagues and comrades to reference from, and ultimately create diverse and sustainable future for the art world alongside with our peers.
SLEEPCENTER，初创于纷繁和谐的纽约华埠门罗街，是一间国际化泛区域型的非营利独立机构及事务所，旨为本土社群与国际观众提供“泛文化+”交流与探讨的平台。SLEEPCENTER在纽约运营两处展览空间，在伦敦、上海和深圳设有办事处。
历经50余个成果斐然的公共项目，SLEEPCENTER从一个简陋的替代型艺术空间逐渐成长为一个可持续发展的双语言跨领域独立文化机构，稳定地开展多元化的公共项目与社会服务。在2020年，我们启动了以SCCreativeService(SCCS)灵光助力，SCNewsstand新声书报亭，与SCMultiverse多元宇宙，这三个全新的工作方向相互作用、相辅相成，组成的运营模式。我们将自身机构架构做为实验体和参照物，身先士卒去探寻非盈利机构可持续发展的可能性。携手与同仁们一道，建立正面健康的行业生态和新秩序。
SLEEPCENTER是经由美国联邦政府及纽约州财政部特许成立，依美国国内税法 (IRC Internal Revenue Code) 第501(c)3 条款设立的非营利公共文化机构。SLEEPCENTER是在英国工商局注册，为有效服务社会公益所设立的非营利社区利益公司 (Community Interest Company)。
