ARTIST FELLOW SPOTLIGHT | Our 2026 Artist Fellow Farah Mohammad is currently featured in HANDS ON FIRE at Project: ARTspace, a group exhibition celebrating the physicality and expressive power of making through printmaking, collage, ceramics, and mixed media.

"Their collected works energize and amplify the intersection of the inner lives of women with the challenges and triumphs they face from the external environment, encompassing physical landscape, social and historical contexts. Collectively, their dazzling, concentrated energies and activities ignite many fires!"

Mohammad's layered works combine intricate printmaking and drawing techniques to create richly textured compositions that explore memory, landscape, and shifting perspectives.

We encourage you to experience her remarkable work in person!

FROM THE ARCHIVE | Before the Tilden Mansion became home to the National Arts Club, this was where our story began! This negative captures the NAC's original home at 37–39 West 34th Street, where the National Arts Club was founded in 1898 before relocating to the Tilden Mansion in 1906, where we still are today. More than a century later, we're grateful to preserve and share these glimpses into the Club's remarkable history✨

FULL INTERVIEW ON YOUTUBE!
In this conversation, National Arts Club Artist Fellow Gabrielle Chou reflects on her journey as both a pianist and violinist, from discovering a love of classical music to embracing the unique challenges of interpreting a composer's work. She also shares what she's currently working on, the role curiosity plays in her artistic practice, and why she believes music and the arts remain essential to how we understand ourselves and the world around us.

FROM THE ARCHIVE | We found this transparent film drawing of the Club in our archives! Each slide is backlit by stained glass or a window in the NAC. Can you identify where each one was photographed?

Drop your guesses in the comments—we'd love to see who recognizes them!

FROM THE ARCHIVE | Looking back through the lens of 1995.

These photo negatives by Joe Standart offer a window into the National Arts Club as it looked thirty years ago. Some things have changed, while others remain wonderfully familiar. As the Club continues to evolve, we're proud to preserve the historic spaces, collections, and stories that connect generations of artists, members, and visitors✨

FROM THE ARCHIVE | Then & Now

Our Portrait Gallery has long celebrated the remarkable artists, writers, performers, and cultural leaders who have been honored with the National Arts Club's Medal of Honor. While the gallery has evolved over the years, its purpose remains unchanged: to celebrate those whose work has enriched the arts and inspired generations.
