The mission of Arts World Financial Center is to serve as the leading showcase in Lower Manhattan for visual and performing arts - from the intimate to the spectacular - presenting both emerging and established artists.

With its waterfront Winter Garden as a focal point, the artistic process is made accessible in a free, open and interactive manner to workers, residents and the broader public of cultural consumers.

Since 1988, Arts World Financial Center has presented interdisciplinary arts programming with an emphasis on commissioned works, site-specific installations and premieres, year-round and free to the public.
