For nearly 50 years A.R.T/New York had brought theatre-makers together, created a community, offered up rental space, provided workshops, and housed audience members. Your health and safety are of the utmost importance to us, which is why we continue to maintain rigorous health and safety protocols at all of our facilities & locations

A.R.T./New York has developed thorough operations and safety plans for operating amid the COVID-19 pandemic. These plans are forward-thinking and flexible, incorporating all the knowledge and resources made available to us by the State of New York, the CDC, WHO, and the guidance of experts in our community, as well as experts in the field of operations, HVAC, and sanitation.
