Let's go back in time and take a look at the exterior of the National Arts Club, circa 1939–1941.

For more than a century, this remarkable building has stood through decades of change, quietly witnessing the countless lives, stories, and generations that have passed through Gramercy Park. There’s something special about looking at the NAC as it appeared nearly a century ago, and realizing that the building has experienced so many lifetimes, while remaining a constant part of the neighborhood. 🚗🖤

It’s the first day of fall, and the leaves are already changing color! 🍁 What better way to celebrate the season than with the rich fall palette of "Feeding the Peacocks" (1910) by William Baxter Palmer Closson?

Part of the NAC's permanent collection, this oil on canvas beautifully reveals the hallmarks of Closson’s aesthetic, particularly his remarkable abilities as a colorist and his decorative approach to line and form. His vibrant palette features an array of metallic greens that capture the iridescent coats of the peacocks, creating a dazzling interplay of color and light. 🍂🦚

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate the rich cultures, histories, and creative voices that shape our world.

Take a look at "Men Walking on the Ocean" (2015) by Cuban-born artist Carlos Quintana. Known for his expressive, dreamlike paintings, Quintana blends collective memory, fantasy, and personal symbolism to explore the beauty and complexity of the human experience.

Born in Havana and now based in Madrid, Quintana has exhibited internationally across Cuba, Mexico, Spain, and the United States. This beautiful piece is part of the NAC's permanent collection.

On September 12th, we were honored to host Anna Sui’s Spring/Summer 2027 fashion show, “Wonderment.” A gorgeous collection inspired by fairy tales, fantasy, and the magic of discovering something you’ve never seen before, like stumbling into a secret world and following it down the rabbit hole. 🐚🧜‍♀️🧚

Mermaids, whimsical details, enchanting silhouettes, and a dreamlike sense of imagination brought the collection to life in the most magical way.

We are so honored that our space was chosen as the setting for this extraordinary show and to have been part of fantastical world of "Wonderment."
