The Living Museum New York: The Birthplace of Our Vision

Engaging article by Haider Chu in THE CITY on New York’s Least Likely, Most ‘Magical’ Museum

Nestled within the historic Creedmoor Psychiatric Center in Queens, The Living Museum stands as the birthplace of our organization and the heart of our mission. For over four decades, this extraordinary space has embodied the transformative power of creativity, providing a sanctuary where individuals navigating the mental health system can express themselves as artists.

In an inspiring article by Haidee Chu, published earlier in March this year, the incredible journey of The Living Museum is beautifully captured—from its humble beginnings in an abandoned dining hall to its role today as a thriving hub of artistic expression and community. Every piece of art within its walls reflects resilience, individuality, and the undeniable connection between creativity and healing.

The Living Museum New York is where our story began, and it continues to inspire our vision of a world where art empowers and connects us all. We invite you to read this article and grasp the spirit of The Living Museum—its transformative impact, its creative soul, and the countless lives it continues to inspire.
