Presented by The Arts and Architecture Conservancy at Saint Peter’s.

Nevelson Chapel is the only remaining, permanent, fully intact sculptural environment by Louise Nevelson. Nine wall-mounted sculptures, a tranquil white-on-white presentation accented with gold-leaf and enhanced by the play of shadow and light from a single window, the Chapel is an incomparable example of this 20th-century art form which is intended to involve or encompass visitors.

Thirty-five years after opening to the public in 1977, it became evident that a robust restoration was needed to properly preserve Nevelson's sculptures. A comprehensive plan was developed to address the needs of renewing this beloved public space. Now, nearing the completion of this work, join in learning about the complete conservation and restoration of Nevelson Chapel. We'll explore the the tangible impact of years of research and complex techniques to conserve the paint and sculpture. Learn how continued support sustains this complete environment for future generations. 

Nevelson Chapel will be open before and after for visitors to explore and her self-described “oasis” of the city.
