The Esopus Foundation Ltd. was a nonprofit organization founded in 2003 with the mission of providing an unmediated space through which artists, writers, musicians, and other creative professionals could connect directly with the general public.
The Foundation was primarily devoted to creating 25 issues of the award-winning arts periodical Esopus; publishing a range of books and artists' editions; and mounting more than 100 events and exhibitions.
Esopus 13 features artists’ projects by Oliver Herring and Peter Krashes, Jeff Gibson, and Mickey Smith, as well as a portfolio of never-before-seen work by the severely autistic artist Alex Masket. It also included manuscript pages from poet Jennifer Moxley’s 2007 memoir On Writing the Middle Room, new fiction from Kelly Sandoval, and artifacts from the collection of the late, esteemed rare books librarian Marjorie G. Wynne.
For the issue’s themed CD, 11 musicians were asked to create a new song inspired by one of Nostradamus’s prophecies.
