ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Cultural organizations in all 10 regions of New York are reopening with masks, social distancing, and capacity limits in place, the New York State Council on the Arts announced Wednesday.

“The arts play a critical role in all our communities across the state, providing educational, civic, and economic opportunities for millions of New Yorkers,” said Mara Marus, New York State Council on the Arts Executive Director. “We encourage the public to support the arts in-person, where possible, as we all work together to ensure the health and vitality of these institutions for generations to come.”

After being closed for five months, cultural and arts organizations will reopen using state guidance. That includes many of the state’s most treasured museums, sculpture parks, historic sites, and outdoor art spaces. Over 150 are now operating or have announced reopening dates.

Venues will operate at 25% capacity, and visitors must wear masks and social distance. Check out these major venues, sorted by region:
