Park Avenue Armory

Description

• Part palace, part industrial shed, Park Avenue Armory fills a critical void in the cultural ecology of New York by enabling artists to createand audiences to experienceunconventional work that cannot be mounted in traditional performance halls and museums. With its soaring 55,000-square-foot Wade Thompson Drill Hallreminiscent of 19th-century European train stationsand array of exuberant period rooms, the Armory offers a new platform for creativity across all art forms.Having served as the former home of the Seventh Regiment, Park Avenue Armory has transformed into a groundbreaking cultural institution that blurs the boundaries between high art and pop culture. Since 2007, the Armory has organized a series of immersive performances and installations that have drawn critical acclaim and popular attention working independently or collaborating with other cultural institutions.Concurrent with the development of its artistic program, the Armory has undertaken an ongoing $200-million revitalization of its historic building, named in 2000 among the 100 Most Endangered Historic Sites in the World by the World Monuments Fund. Designed by architects Herzog & de Meuron, the multi-year project reinvigorates the Armorys original design while stabilizing, preserving, and renewing the building for future generations. The Armory reopened its Herter Brothers designed Board of Officers Room in 2013, which has been revitalized and transformed into intimate space for small-scale performances, recitals, and installations.
