Salmagundi Club, Manhattan art club
Salmagundi Club is an arts association in Manhattan that brings together painters, sculptors, writers, and other creative professionals. The building contains exhibition spaces, a dining room, and gathering areas where artists display work and engage in discussion.
The club was founded in the 1870s as a gathering place for artists across different disciplines. Over time it became an important center for artistic discussion and exhibition in New York.
The club takes its name from a mixed English dish, reflecting the blend of artists who gather here. Visitors notice today how the rooms encourage conversation and creative exchange among painters, sculptors, and writers from different backgrounds.
The building spans multiple floors with different functional areas that can be explored on foot. Visitors should know that some areas are accessible while other spaces are reserved for events or member activities.
The building itself is a converted 19th-century residential townhouse that retained its original architecture while being adapted for artistic use. This blend of historic rooms and contemporary art functions makes the space feel like a natural meeting point where past and present coexist.
