Sometimes we do things like make 700 dumplings...

Our staff and board of directors pay bills, answer emails, care for our spaces, and work critically towards our balance of experimentation, accessibility, and sustainability in the arts.

The gallery team curates our gallery and free studio residency, workshops ideas, and is the steady think tank behind our programming (we've been meeting every two weeks for over 10 years!) .

Iowa City Press Co-op and Media Arts Co-op members collectively run the programming and facilities of our community-access print and book arts studio and media arts studio, respectively, from maintaining equipment to collaborative projects.

The Center for Afrofuturist Studies’ core team runs CAS initiatives with support from the CAS Advisory Circle.

PS1 sustaining members make a monthly donation to make all of this possible! Meet some of our sustaining members here...

We share our space with community groups including the Iowa City Poetry Lending Library, the LGBTQ Iowa Library and Archives, and more!
