Tribeca Art+Culture Night is a free, public and local arts festival that celebrates Arts at large in Tribeca and highlights the neighborhood’s incredibly diverse cultural landscape. Each iteration takes place in 30 + diverse Tribeca venues.
The T.A.C Festival, founded in 2016 & curated by Jennifer Famery-Mariani, has featured over 1000 artists, 180 exhibitions and 80 special events since its inception and serves approximately 10,000 people a year.
T.A.C Night offers curated tours of exhibitions like an ART WALK, presents a program of events like a FESTIVAL, showcases venues/organizations like an ART FAIR, and unlocks spaces to the public like an OPEN HOUSE and democratizes access to all things Art.
TAC Night is an adventurous playground showcasing artists, performers, curators, scientists, chefs, wellness experts, musician, designers, authors, thought leaders and makers. We encourage a sense of freedom and exploration in the ways attendees engage with culture.
