Amant is a center for contemporary art located in East Williamsburg, NY. Founded in 2019, we are a non-collecting institution that fosters artistic research, experimentation, and dialogue through exhibitions, live programs, publications, and artist residencies in Brooklyn, NY, and Siena, Italy.

The core of Amant’s mission is to advance the presentation of contemporary art with an emphasis on innovative formats and ideas.

Free and open to all, our 21,000-square-foot, four-building campus includes a multipurpose screening and performance space, a café, and a bookshop. We support both established and mid-career international and local artists who work across diverse creative fields. We are committed to building cultural partnerships with like-minded organizations in the U.S. and abroad while activating new and ongoing conversations with our local communities.

Amant is a non-profit 501c(3) organization and has been certified by W.A.G.E.

Amant was designed by Brooklyn-based architecture firm SO–IL as an art campus, housing exhibition galleries, a performance space, a bookstore and café, as well as an independent studio residency. A series of courtyards and thoroughfares weave through and between the buildings thereby integrating art spaces into the urban fabric of East Williamsburg.

A new restaurant and bar designed by Brooklyn-based GRT Architects will be added to the Amant campus by late 2025. The new plans also include an additional 1,500 sq ft of performance space which will be accessible through the current Géza courtyard.
