Snug Harbor Cultural Center -- Always Exciting, Always Extraordinary
Snug Harbor Cultural Center is the product of 28 years of restoration
and development to convert a 19th century home for retired seamen
to a regional arts center housing myriad museum and arts programs as
well as an active Artist-in-Residence program. It is the largest ongoing adaptive reuse project in America and is considered one of New York City’s unique architectural complexes and historic landscapes. The 83-acre property is home
to New York City’s first designated landmarks, which are considered the finest
example of Greek revival architecture in America. Principal among the historical structures is the Greek Revival Music Hall. The second oldest music hall in
New York City, this structure is one of the architectural gems of New York City
and is the centerpiece for the performing arts at Snug Harbor. Surrounded by a tall iron fence, shaded by century-old Norwegian maples and Austrian pines, Snug Harbor Cultural Center is not only one of the most architecturally and historically significant sites in the country, it is a place where history, architecture, the visual and performing arts, environmental science included in performing arts all come together to provide a rich and powerful learning experience for audiences young and old. |
