Amant

This is an incredible architectural masterpiece with great art shows and events they have which will blow your mind. There are six galleries and a restaurant is coming up. The bookstore is very interesting and the coffee shop a great place to hang out. They have residencies and do very avant guard art but also have art works installed around the campus which are stunning. There is an Isa Genzken Rose !! in the cafe, a Thomas Schutte sculpture in the garden and much more. This is one place that you have to visit in NYC - best yet - it’s FREE. The Josh Serafin exhibit they held in their open lot on the Ten Eyck street around the corner was mind blowing. It was really incredible as a performance. It was outdoors with thousands of people. They seem to change the shows every few months so I go often. But even as a place to have coffee there is nothing like this in East Williamsburg.

A lovely oasis of creativity located in an industrial part of Brooklyn. At this point go for the architecture. The complex is a piece of art in itself. Exhibitions are minimal but thought-provoking. I would hope as Amant matures there will be more of it. This is an artist-in-residence facility so please keep in mind that the space is dedicated to them. I encourage a visit here.

The amant foundation consists of two buildings across the street from one another with a serene small garden space. I absolutely loved the exhibit that was on display. Book store has some very fun reads and the small garden is a nice escape. Cant wait to be back.

Boutique art foundation with carefully designed exhibition space and artist residency studio. A bit out of the way but worth the visit if you are interested in architecture, arts and design. Plan for 30mins to 1 hour to go through the space.

The cafe is really nice and cozy

Cool museum with contemporary art! Nice little garden courtyard too

Such a beautiful place with well-curated and thought provoking pieces. Staff was very welcoming and interested in sharing about the buildings and artwork. Cafe was inviting and had plenty of nice seating. Definitely coming back.

Pretty dope exhibition. Get there early 40 minute film as well.
