Arts at the Armory
"The Armory provides a unique space for artists and curators to mount exhibitions that could not be done anywhere else in New York City. It is going to offer unparalleled opportunities to the art community here…" - Adam Weinberg, Whitney Museum of American Art
Park Avenue Armory is an arts institution dedicated to work that benefits from the freedom of the building's vast drill hall and its constellation of magnificent period rooms. Filling a crucial niche in the cultural landscape of New York City, the Armory catalyzes productions best realized in a non-traditional setting.
