This September, the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the 300-member honor society championing and fostering excellence in American culture, is opening 10,000 square feet of space within its galleries to the public.
It’ll be within the Audubon Terrace complex of buildings on Broadway between West 155th and West 156th Streets and will come with a new curatorial program featuring solo exhibits, original commissions by contemporary artists and interdisciplinary events, according to an official press release.
"We are thrilled to open our doors to the public year-round and to create a place of welcome in Washington Heights," said executive director Cody Upton in an official statement. "Our new programming will bring together and inspire conversations between artistic disciplines."
The roster of on-site exhibitions will kick off with an individual show featuring the work of Christine Kozlov across four galleries inside the South Building. The North Gallery, on the other hand, will be taken over by a commissioned sound installation by composer Raven Chacon.
