159 John Street

Lower Manhattan Cultural Council has partnered again with General Growth Properties (GGP) to program a new Swing Space located in the heart of the historic South Street Seaport district. Formerly a retail clothing store, 159 John Street is particularly well-suited for site-specific installations and exhibitions.

Space at 159 John Street is generously donated by General Growth Properties.
