CATALYST Exhibition: Room by Room Walkthroughs

CATALYST: Art and Social Justice is a curated installation of works by New York Artists and Activists since 1960, celebrating the power of art to spark change and spur progress.

In response to concerns regarding the Coronavirus, and with the health and safety of our visitors and staff a priority, Gracie Mansion has temporarily postponed our free public tour program until further notice. Until we can safely re-open, Gracie Mansion Conservancy offers a virtual walkthrough of the art featured in each room of the mansion narrated by the late and former Executive Director, Paul Gunther. At a later date, we will announce the re-start of the tour program here on our website and on the social media accounts for the Grace Mansion Conservancy. CATALYST: Art and Social Justice will remain on display until September 8, 2021.
