Artists' Choice Museum, Art museum in Manhattan, United States.
Artists' Choice Museum was an art museum in Manhattan that showed contemporary works through rotating exhibitions and permanent collections. It focused on displaying diverse forms of artistic expression from many different perspectives.
The museum was founded in 1976 by members of the Alliance of Figurative Artists and Figurative Coops. It operated from a location on West Broadway until it closed in 1986.
The museum operated with the idea that artists should guide how people understand contemporary art. This approach created direct contact between the creators and the people who came to see their work.
The venue offered accessibility features for visitors with different needs. Staff regularly led guided tours and kept people informed about current exhibitions.
Six major New York galleries joined forces for the opening show. They displayed works from around 146 contemporary artists selected by the galleries themselves.
