Grand Central Art Galleries

Grand Central Art Galleries was an art space on the sixth floor of Grand Central Terminal with about nine separate exhibition areas. The location had room for many artworks at once and was designed to accommodate rotating art presentations.

The space opened in 1922 as a center for both modern and traditional art forms. It later became an important exhibition venue showcasing various artistic directions before closing in the 1990s.

The name refers to its location within Grand Central Terminal, where it became a gathering place for artists and art enthusiasts. The space served as an active hub where new works were regularly displayed and creators could present their art directly to visitors.

The gallery was located in a busy transportation hub, making it easily accessible to visitors passing through the terminal. You could explore the exhibitions while moving through the building as part of your visit.

A notable feature was an art school connected to the gallery starting in the 1920s that trained artists. This school played an important role in nurturing emerging artistic talent in the city.
