Founded in 2019, Amant is a non-collecting contemporary art institution that fosters artistic research, experimentation, and dialogue through exhibitions, live programs, publications, and artist residencies in Brooklyn, NY, and Siena, Italy. The core of Amant’s mission is to advance the presentation of contemporary art with an emphasis on innovative formats and ideas.

Amant’s 21,000-square-foot, four-building campus, designed by SO-IL, includes a multipurpose screening and performance space, a café, and a bookshop. The organization supports both established and mid-career international and local artists who work across diverse creative fields, and is committed to building cultural partnerships with like-minded organizations in the U.S. and abroad while activating new and ongoing conversations with local communities.
