Review:

PES Studios is a unique hub for multidisciplinary creativity, housed on a three-level space in Newark connected to the city's Penn Station transit hub. The project, which is part of the New York City-based Project for Empty Space nonprofit organization, was founded in 2012 as a pop-up exhibition, transforming otherwise-empty office spaces into contemporary art venues. Since 2015, rotating exhibitions have been showcased at the permanent Penn Station space, featuring works by regional, national, and international artists and curators. Exhibitions are open to the public on weekday afternoons and as part of special events, including open studio times. An artist-in-residency program also provides artist studio and work space throughout the complex.
