Battery Maritime Building Public Event Space
​The Battery Maritime Building, located at 10 South Street at the southern tip of Manhattan, has a long history of serving the public as the gateway to New York Harbor and its surrounding waters. Today, following a years-long restoration effort, it has been reimagined to include a world-class hotel and events space, inviting thousands of new users to “Casa Cipriani”.
Continuing this long history of public access, the Casa Cipriani team, working together with stakeholders that include the New York City Economic Development Corporation, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, and Manhattan Community Board 1, is excited to afford qualified not-for-profit and community-serving organizations the opportunity to program and activate the Great Hall for civic-oriented uses, free of charge. We invite the community to reimagine the historic Great Hall as a space to promote the arts in all its forms, be a gathering space for cultural and educational events and/or a venue for exhibits and workshops- all for the benefit of the public and to enrich our community. We are keenly aware of the challenges associated with free or affordable gathering spaces, and we are proud to extend this opportunity to our fellow New Yorkers.
