Nestled in history-steeped Gramercy Park, the National Arts Club is a home for the arts in the heart of New York City. Since 1906, the Club has been based in the Samuel Tilden Mansion, a national historic landmark and beautifully preserved example of Victorian Gothic residential architecture. Today, the National Arts Club operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and offers more than 150 free programs to the public, including exhibitions, theatrical and musical performances, lectures, and readings, attracting an audience of over 25,000 New Yorkers and visitors alike. Featured programs focus on all disciplines of the arts. During OHNY Weekend, take a tour of the Club’s parlors and dining room—typically only open to members—and experience the beauty of New York’s Gilded Age firsthand. Marvel at the Club’s historic architectural details, including the remarkable stained glass dome above the Club’s bar dating from the 1880s and see artwork from the permanent collection. Visitors will also have the chance to explore current art exhibitions in the Club’s four galleries.
