COMMUNITY SESSION TOURS

Staten Island

See how the arts are infused in the natural and built environment of Staten Island's historic Snug Harbor. The 83-acre complex, comprised of a number of 19th century Greek Revival buildings, is a former retirement home for seaman. Many artists and organizations have been inspired and captivated by the green spaces, architecture, and rich history of the site. Artists perform in varied performance and exhibition sites throughout the campus, as Snug Harbor staff tells the history of the spaces. The tour concludes with cool refreshments in the New York Chinese Scholar's Garden, the only one of its kind in the United States.
