The Concept

Art Omi Pavilions @ Chatham will realize 18 individual pavilions across a hilltop site of 190 acres in Chatham, New York. Once completed, Art Omi Pavilions will invite visitors to explore the individual Pavilions, which will display legacy stand-alone exhibitions of highly distinguished artists and collectors who will showcase their work in a setting that they control and design. These Pavilions will be part of a larger art center, including a visitor center and rotating exhibition Pavilion, which will provide cultural context, museological standards, and visitor services.

The visitor experience of self-guided exploration will be informed by the landscape of woodlands, meadows, and 360-degree Hudson Valley views, intermingled with unique built structures by world-class architects, all activated by dynamic artworks. It is an innovative, singular concept in the art world that seeks to serve the need for self-realized legacy for artists and collectors by addressing the challenge of preserving the aesthetic coherence of an artist’s oeuvre or collection.
