The Museum of Arts and Design (“MAD”) explores the blur zone between art, design, and craft today. Accredited by the American Association of Museums since 1991, MAD focuses on contemporary creativity and the ways in which artists and designers from around the world transform materials through processes ranging from the artisanal to the digital. MAD's new home at 2 Columbus Circle offers a variety of spaces to complement your special event. Rental of these spaces may include access to gallery floors depending on exhibition schedules. The Museum of Arts and Design offers catering exclusively through Ark Restaurants.
