Genspace is a non-profit organization and a community biology laboratory located in Brooklyn, New York. Stemming from the hacking, biohacking, and DIYbio movements, Genspace has focused (since 2009) on supporting citizen science and public access to biotechnology.{{cite web|title=About|url=http://genspace.org/page/About|website=Genspace.org|accessdate=9 June 2014}} Genspace opened the first community biology lab in 2010{{Cite magazine |date=2010-12-16 |title=DIY Biotech Hacker Space Opens in NYC |url=https://www.wired.com/2010/12/genspace-diy-science-laboratory/ |magazine=Wired |access-date=August 10, 2023|last1=Mosher |first1=Dave }} and a Biosafety Level One laboratory in December of that year.{{cite journal|last1=Kean|first1=S.|title=A Lab of Their Own|journal=Science|date=1 September 2011|volume=333|issue=6047|pages=1240–1241|doi=10.1126/science.333.6047.1240|pmid=21885770|bibcode=2011Sci...333.1240K }}{{cite magazine|last1=Mosher|first1=Dave|title=DIY Biotech Hacker Space Opens in NYC|url=https://www.wired.com/2010/12/genspace-diy-science-laboratory/?viewall=true|magazine=Wired|publisher=Condé Nast|accessdate=9 June 2014}} Since its opening, Genspace has supported projects, events, courses, art, and general community resources concerning biology, biotechnology, synthetic biology, genetic engineering, citizen science, open source software, open source hardware, and more.

A collaboration between Genspace and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory earned a second place win from the American Society for Microbiology's 2015 AgarArt competition.{{cite web|url=http://www.microbeworld.org/backend-submitted-news/1998-announcing-the-2015-asm-agar-art-winners-agarart|title=Announcing the 2015 ASM Agar Art Winners #agarart|first=Emily|last=Dilger|publisher=|access-date=2016-11-11|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151029075502/http://www.microbeworld.org/backend-submitted-news/1998-announcing-the-2015-asm-agar-art-winners-agarart|archive-date=2015-10-29|url-status=dead}}
