Storm King Art Center is committed to the health, safety, and well-being of our staff, visitors, and community. In support of initiatives to control the spread of coronavirus, Storm King’s site will remain closed until further notice. All upcoming events and programs through May 31 have been postponed, including the May 9 Exhibition Opening Celebration & Member Reception

In recognition of this challenging time, we have also suspended our no-refund policy and will process refunds for groups booked to visit Storm King between April 1 and June 1, 2020 who no longer wish or are unable to attend. Refunded bookings will be canceled and should be re-booked later in the season.

We will continue to monitor the health situation as it evolves both locally and worldwide and follow recommendations from the New York Department of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the World Health Organization (WHO). Any additional schedule changes will be updated on this page, our online calendar, and Storm King’s social media accounts (Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter).  

We look forward to welcoming visitors to Storm King soon.
