Description
About The Shed
Opening in spring 2019, The Shed will be the first multi-arts center designed to commission, produce, and present all types of performing arts, visual arts, and popular culture. Driven by experimentation, innovation, risk-taking, and collaboration, The Shed will bring together leading artists working in every art form with leading minds in the humanities and sciences. The program will be international, created with co-commissioning partners around the globe, and local, with early-career artists from New York in residence in The Shed’s free creative lab. Located on the west side of Manhattan where the High Line meets Hudson Yards, the unique and flexible building, designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Rockwell Group, can physically transform to support artists’ visions and the work they create. From hip hop to classical music, visual art to literature, film to theater and dance—with collaborations across these disciplines and beyond—The Shed will welcome the broadest range of art forms and audiences, all under one roof.
