Presented by the Center for Architecture with The Arts and Architecture Conservancy at Saint Peter’s

Louise Nevelson's Chapel of the Good Shepherd is a unique, comprehensive sculptural environment at Saint Peter's Church. Nevelson was instrumental in the conception and introduction of the form, which “sought to break down the historical dichotomy between life and art.” Following years of restoration and necessary improvements to the environment, hear how Nevelson Chapel, a beloved New York City treasure, will be cared for now and for future generations.
