About the Center Gallery
Located across the street from Lincoln Center and at the street level of the Manhattan New York Temple, the Center Gallery was leased from property owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After a significant buildout during the darkest months of Covid, the Center Gallery opened June 18, 2021. What followed was a 1-year project to be the hub of arts & culture for Latter-day Saints everywhere in the biggest art capital of the country.
During its temporary but illustrious operation, the Center Gallery was bustling. It mounted five ambitious exhibitions, published related books, and held many lectures, presentations, concerts, and events. While the Center Gallery has closed, you can still explore the exhibitions and events it housed below.
