The mission of the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center (SJDC) is to generate an active dialogue on the role of innovative art and design in responding to our contemporary world. Its critical curatorial agenda, provoked by current environmental and social challenges, reflects and advances creative research and pedagogic practices. The exhibition and public programs in its two galleries encourage an interdisciplinary examination of possibility and process, blurring the boundaries between classroom, laboratory and exhibition, and link the university to local and global debates.<\/p>\n

\n

The Sheila C. Johnson Design Center is more than an exhibition space\u2014 it’s the place where the university and the community come together. Get a behind-the-scenes look inside the center, and hear voices from across Parsons talk about what the SJDC means to them. The Sheila C. Johnson Design Center houses the\u00a0Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Gallery\u00a0and the\u00a0Arnold and Sheila Aronson Galleries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The award-winning design, by Lyn Rice Architects, combines the ground floors of four historic buildings to form an urban quad that opens up the galleries to public view at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 13th Street. The center was made possible in part by a $7 million gift from Sheila C. Johnson, New School trustee and chair of Parsons\u2019 board of governors.<\/p>\n

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR<\/h2>\n

In the galleries at the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center, artistic imagination and ingenuity in design join with global social consciousness. Few spaces offer the artist and the visitor the unique physical experience of being in a gallery and on an open stage simultaneously, as does the design of the center. Through an exhibition program that is both creatively and intellectually rigorous, we invite the university community and others to engage in a dialogue on the role of art and design in the public realm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
