Gracie Square Art Show 2025

The Carl Schurz Park Conservancy presents the 51st Annual Gracie Square Art Show, staged in one of the prettiest and peaceful waterside parks in New York City. The Art Show attracts over 100 regionally and nationally celebrated artists and promotes the work of fine artists in the areas of painting, watercolor/etching/pastel/drawing, sculpture, photography and mixed media. All proceeds help fund the restoration and maintenance of Carl Schurz Park.

The show runs for two days from 10 am until 5 pm. Artists must arrive by 8 am to secure booth space, with 7 am or earlier recommended for parking. East End Avenue between 84th and 88th Streets will be closed to traffic between 8am and 7pm on Saturday and Sunday, with parking passes supplied upon acceptance. Exhibits must consist solely of original creative work, with all hanging artwork being original (framing preferred). Digital or lithographic reproductions must be displayed in browse bins and labeled as such.

Booth options include Standard 11' x 3' spaces for $225, Large 10' x 10' spaces for $475, and Premium Location 10' x 10' spaces for $600. The jury process selects approximately 100 artists from around 175 applications annually, with jurors scoring on a 1-5 scale. There is no rain date or refunds if the show is canceled.
