Finally made it to this very nice free art gallery. They have rotating exhibits and performances so check the website before going. Highly recommended!

They told me that they might be using a baby picture of me for an Art Exhibit. "We are going to be using that baby picture of you." When I got there, I found out they didn't use it, but I had fun anyway. Great open art space. Very close to the Dinosaur BBQ restaurant with its taste ribs. The Lenfest Center for the Arts has a large coffee shop on the street level, and it's used by the hard-studying Columbia University students all the time.they might use

Great art gallery in wonderful building by Renzo Piano. Always interesting exhibitions such as the current "Dead Lecturer/distant relative: Notes from the Woodshed, 1950-1980".

This incredibly ugly series of new buildings for Columbia's new Manhattanville campus remove the soul from architecture, synthesise functionality over humanity. Devoid of any interior human links, decoration or even an attempt to link to the neighborhood architecturally, they boldly announce to Harlem Columbia's elitist attempt to stay the fortress they intend to be. The black box theaters inside the Lenfest Center are completely unsuitable for elderly people and are amazingly not ADA compliant. I had to help two seniors yo their seats down very steep stairs. In this day and age this should never have happened and Columbia should have made some attempt to recycle the architecture and the fabric of the old buildings they razed, not make a statement about their incredible lack of taste and civic commitment.

This bright, open space gives the gallery great flexibility for a variety of exhibitions. With an impressive span of work ranging from boldly figurative oil paintings to innovative constructions, The VISUAL ARTS CLASS OF 2022 THESIS EXHIBITION includes sound and video projects and extends to the 8th-floor skylit "Lantern." While ground-floor personnel are friendly, entry will nevertheless be daunting to all but the most determined since it requires moving through glass gates and taking an elevator to the 6th floor. I wonder why architect Piano didn't locate the gallery on the ground floor, as Diller + Scofidio did with the more accessible Cohen Gallery at Brown University's Granoff Center. And although there is a telephone on the attendant's desk, calls during the weekend go directly to voicemail--a frustration when the rather obscure online advance registration requirement malfunctions.

It was a nice little museum. They had a lot of informative exhibits for the amount of space they had.

At least during covid, be careful: Google is NOT accurate in terms of when this gallery is open... Currently, the gallery is only open on Fridays and Saturdays...

Great exhibition but very hard to find from the outside, no signs, no street address.

Their collections reflect culturally evolving events and diversity current and past. Especially loved the Degas exhibit.
