Picture
The Howland Cultural Center is a nonprofit organization operated entirely by dedicated and respected volunteers who provide guidance and support. Our mission is to preserve and maintain the historic Richard Morris Hunt building, which was constructed in 1872. We received our 501(c)(3) nonprofit status under the name Van Wyck Council on the Arts and Culture, Inc., and we are known as the Howland Cultural Center. We began offering public programming in 1979, and today, the Center continues to thrive as a vibrant hub for arts, culture, and history.
