Bringing provocative art, performance & creative mischief to a small town at the river’s edge.

Completed in May 2021, ArtYard's main building is the permanent home of our exhibition, theater, and film program, as well as our staff offices.

The upper level gallery at ArtYard's main building is 2,632 square feet. Its large west-facing windows overlook the Delaware River and the clerestory overhead admits natural light.

The lower-level gallery is 1850 square feet, with a small 206 square foot adjacent room, allowing limited natural light.

The McDonnell Theater is home to our live performance and film programs, where we present music, performance, poetry, and film screenings, in addition to artist talks and symposia.

Named after Stephen McDonnell, the 162-seat theater McDonnell Theater has state-of-the-art projection, lighting, and surround sound as well as upcycled seating, curtains, and a chandelier made from water bottles by artist Willie Cole. McDonnell is an ArtYard board member, Applegate Farms founder, and Jill Kearney’s husband.

The artist residency at 50 Trenton Avenue is a five bedroom home that houses visiting artists and curators and its gracious riverfront setting serves as the "yard" of ArtYard, a place for art installation and communal festivities.

The artist residency located on the main street of Frenchtown houses visiting artists and its front yard serves as an additional outdoor installation space.

The original site of ArtYard from its inception until the completion of the new building at 13 Front Street, serving as the testing ground for ArtYard's identity and vision.
