Institute 193 is actively raising funds to purchase a new building at 211 North Limestone, our future and permanent home in downtown Lexington. Contribute to our capital campaign today via the link in our bio!

We are raising $100,000 by October 31, 2026 to cover the renovation, establish a building upkeep fund, and weather the transition between our current leases and new mortgage costs. Your contributions will ensure that we can open our new home in January 2027 with a new exhibition, a suite of community programming, and a robust, well-furnished shop space. Give today, and let’s build Institute 193’s future.

Institute 193’s Sweet Sixteen! Our year-end fundraiser starts today. Hit the link in our bio to contribute!

For sixteen years, Institute 193 has logged thousands of miles with our collaborators, criss-crossing the nation to seek out and share the most unique, significant, and authentic voices of the contemporary South. From Waxahatchee to West Virginia, Nashville to New Orleans, and Birmingham to the Big Apple and beyond, we’ve helped artists, musicians, and writers continue to redefine what the South looks, sounds, and feels like. With over one hundred exhibitions, dozens of books, and countless events later, we’re still on the move, guided by the same curiosity and conviction that started this whole trip.

Your support makes all this possible. Every dollar donated keeps our engine running, helping us stay independent, creative, and community-driven. As we mark our Sweet Sixteen, we invite you to hop in and take this journey with us — to keep this engine humming for another sixteen years of art, collaboration, and discovery.

Special thanks to friend of the gallery Robert Beatty for this lovely promo video. Hop in!
