    Certain events can be accommodated during exhibition periods: meetings and receptions for up to 150. Large banquets and receptions are generally only possible between exhibitions when the schedule allows. No food or drinks are allowed in the galleries. For inquires about space rentals, please contact Danny Crump, Associate Director of Facilities and Operations, dcrump@sculpture-center.org.

    SculptureCenter is an exhibition space, and though we at one point in our history offered classes and studio space, since our move to Long Island City in 2002, these services are no longer part of our mission.

    Our website was designed collaboratively by Wkshps and Systemantics.

    We do not have a permanent collection. Our efforts are focused on commissioning and producing contemporary art.

    Still photography and videotaping for personal use is permitted in SculptureCenter's galleries.

    SculptureCenter's space was built as a trolley repair shop for the subway system in 1907, but never used as such. In the 1940's, our building was used for the manufacture, assembly, and repair of derricks, hoist, and cranes, which our facade reflects with the original signage from that era.

    SculptureCenter is a nonprofit organization funded by grants, foundations, corporations, and individual donors. For more information on our supporters, please visit our Support pages.
