Located on the newly expanded campus of John Jay College 59th Street between 10th and 11th Avenues in the heart of midtown Manhattan, the Arts Center at John Jay is dedicated to presenting compelling exhibitions, lectures, and performances. The Galleries and performance and events space host multiple shows and events each year, addressing themes of social justice and cultural diversity through aes
thetic and intellectual innovation and exchange. Programs foster interdisciplinary discourse within the College and the New York community through public programming, links to coursework, and by providing access to its programs to area schools and to the broader public. The goal of the Arts Center at John Jay is to provide a forum for artistic and intellectual exchange and expression, representing a wide range of ideas and promoting critical thinking and broad participation, reflective of today's globalized world. The music and visual arts programs of The Arts Center are administered under the supervision of the Art and Music Department of John Jay College, a 501c.3 non-profit organization. Support for programming is provided by John Jay College and the City University of New York, and from outside sources in the form of grants, awards and donations. The President of John Jay College as well as the Chair of the Art and Music Department serve on board along with other full-time faculty members and prestigious advisors from the community at large. Exhibitions are curated under the supervision of John Jay College full time faculty.
