The Shed, opening in spring 2019 where the High Line meets Hudson Yards on Manhattan’s west side, will be the first arts center designed exclusively to commission, produce, and present all types of performing arts, visual arts, and popular culture. From hip hop to classical music, visual art to literature, film to theater and dance, The Shed will bring together leading artists from all art forms under one roof. The building—an innovative 200,000-square-foot structure designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Rockwell Group—can physically transform to support artists’ most ambitious ideas. Committed to supporting artistic invention and nurturing creativity, The Shed, led by artistic director and CEO Alex Poots, will bring together artists from a broad range of genres and backgrounds with innovative thinkers from the sciences, technology, and humanities to advance culture in the 21st century.
