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.
