A83 is a nonprofit organization with a tripartite mission to exhibit, publish, and promote experimental projects in architecture, art, and design. Building from the previous operation, John Nichols Printmakers & Publishers (1978 –1994), the organization continues to operate at the original location in SoHo as a printmaking studio, gallery, and growing archive. The 83 Grand Street location is used to produce exhibitions and installations, host workshops, and broadcast work to new audiences.
a83 formed summer of 2020 in the spirit of John Nichols Printmakers & Publishers (JNP&P). The organization as it exists today is an evolution of JNP&P–an experimental printmaking studio and exhibition space run by John Nichols at 83 Grand Street in SoHo New York from 1978-1994. During this period of time JNP&P became known within the US as the prime source for high-quality architectural images.
JNP&P was John Nichols, Nenad Bozic, Arnold Brooks, Laurence Hovde, Barbara Neff, Rejla Penizic and Elizabeth Shallow.
