Main Court and Sorolla Vision of Spain Gallery
The Main Court, featuring Francisco de Goya’s The Duchess of Alba (1797) and other Hispanic masterworks across three continents, is an exquisite setting for cocktail receptions.  The Sorolla Gallery is a uniquely elegant site for seated dinners, cocktail receptions, and concerts.  At this gallery, your guests will be surrounded by Joaquín Sorolla’s series of panoramic canvases, The Provinces of Spain (1911-1919), a celebration of regional costumes and cultures, of the artist’s “Vision of Spain”.

Audubon Terrace
Audubon Terrace is a beautiful open-air space and a monument to the Beaux-Arts architecture of the early 20th century.  It includes buildings by such architects as Charles Pratt Huntington, Stanford White, and Cass Gilbert.  Originally part of a farm belonging to the painter and naturalist, John James Audubon, the Terrace lends itself perfectly to cocktail receptions, seated dinners, concerts, and dancing.
