Our top five galleries for hire in Midtown

Holographic Studios is not your typical art gallery; their main draw is a gallery centered around 3D holographic images, an office space, and an intimate outdoor garden. This venue is perfect for small groups looking for a quirky activity, as it was named “#1 of the seven obscure museums across America that you won’t want to miss.” This studio allows up to 35 inside and more if using the garden. For an extra cost, your guests can enjoy a one-of-a-kind laser show, drinks, and snacks, but all guests get to go home with their own free hologram.

If you catch yourself on the High Line appreciating the concrete jungle, continue to enjoy the beautiful views below at High Line Nine. This gallery accommodates up to 250 guests in 2,534 sq. ft. of wall art and sculptures under a beautiful skylight window to explore. Its pristine, sleek, and white interior feels like a proper museum. Guests can also enjoy their minimalist-style cafe in-house for snacks and refreshments while taking in the works of art.

Two studios, a speakeasy, a dining room, and a rooftop lounge all in one building can be found at 38th W and 39th in Midtown. Dba Art Gallery is a one-stop shop for any event your guests will enjoy. Each rustic floor is decked with exposed brick and floor-to-ceiling windows to enjoy the view, no matter the type of event. Customize the event size to your liking, with five floors holding up to 200 people each for a small gallery viewing and cocktail reception, or buy out this Midtown gallery to host an extravagant 1,000-person multi-floor party.

Despite being in the heart of the tourist trap that New Yorkers dread to go near, the EFA Project Space Program takes this feeling away. This nonprofit Midtown gallery is a “collaborative, cross-disciplinary arts venue” highlighting local and community artists. View their current exhibitions and explore your own creativity in this unique maker space full of natural light windows. EFA Project Space allows up to 200 guests to bask in the creativity of local artists; events can range from cocktail parties, fundraisers, photoshoots, dinners, and more.

At the Tolman Collection of New York, the modern minimalist walls let art pieces stand out. This intimate space has committed to showcasing Japanese-based artists' print work. In this exclusive gallery, learn about Japanese printmaking from past to present with authentic artists from New York and Japan. The owner is an expert in this category; she is a member of the International Fine Print Dealers' Association, the Print Club of New York, and the Treasurer of the Japanese Art Society of America. The Tolman Collection welcomes you and your guests for one-of-a-kind viewing. Viewings are by appointment only: contact the venue for details.
