The Arts and Architecture Conservancy at Saint Peter’s

Giving future to modernist art and architecture in midtown Manhattan.

Saint Peter’s is a home for many nestled in the busy landscape of midtown. After facing devastation in the past three years with a global pandemic and flooding from a city water main break, we are poised to restore, renew and embolden a promising future for this NYC landmark.

Rich in history and iconic in architecture, design, and the arts, Saint Peter’s is dedicated to the life of the city. This place is one of bold welcome and persistent service to those in need.

The work of architects Hugh Stubbins and Easley Hamner with designers Lella and Massimo Vignelli, Saint Peter’s was designated as a NYC landmark in 2016 for its architectural significance and innovation in urban planning. The building includes unprecedented public space, houses outstanding examples of Modern and contemporary art, and is a hub of performing arts, cultural, and civic life.

A newly formed Arts and Architecture Conservancy at Saint Peter’s is collaborating with the congregation to provide funding for the restoration. The Conservancy also supports and enables public arts and cultural programming in the building’s Theatre, Community Hall, meeting rooms, music studios and it’s Vignelli-designed Sanctuary.
