SculptureCenter is a not-for-profit, contemporary art museum located in Long Island City, Queens, New York. It was founded in 1928 as "The Clay Club" by Dorothea Denslow.[1]

In 2014, SculptureCenter unveiled its latest expansion and renovation, including a 2,000 square feet addition, aimed at improving visitor experience and increasing exhibition space to 6,700 sq ft, plus a 1,500 sq ft enclosed courtyard for outdoor exhibitions and events. The architect was Andrew Berman, and the budget was $4.5 million.[2]

SculptureCenter has presented works by over 750 artists through its annual exhibition program, including Turner Prize winner Charlotte Prodger and nominee Anthea Hamilton, Sanford Biggers, Nairy Baghramian, Tom Burr, Liz Glynn, Rochelle Goldberg, Camille Henrot, Leslie Hewitt, Rashid Johnson, Ugo Rondinone, Katrín Sigurdardóttir, Alexandre Singh, Monika Sosnowska, Gedi Sibony, Mika Tajima, and Hugo Boss Prize winners Anicka Yi and Simone Leigh.[3]

As a non-collecting museum, its annual program includes approximately three exhibition cycles of 1–2 commissioning programs by mid-career artists, 10–15 projects and commissions by emerging artists, and 3–6 solo and group exhibitions. SculptureCenter offers free public programs and events including artist talks, performances, film screenings, and publications.[4]
