New York’s newest cultural institution opens to the public on Friday, April 5.

The long-awaited Shed—an eight-level, flexible structure for visual and performing arts programs—will open Friday, April 5 in New York.

The 200,000-square-foot cultural center, designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with the Rockwell Group, has announced its official launch.

The temporary events space was inspired by architect Cedric Price’s 1961 concept, The Fun Palace.

Designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with the Rockwell Group, the structure under construction at Hudson Yards is being “unveiled” today for press and invited guests.
