About ARTECHOUSE New York Ticket
ARTECHOUSE was founded in Washington D.C. in 2017 as the nation's first organisation dedicated to the intersection of art, science, and technology — and its New York location, housed beneath Chelsea Market in a beautifully repurposed 150-year-old industrial boiler room, quickly established itself as one of the most innovative and most talked-about cultural destinations in Manhattan. The exhibitions at ARTECHOUSE consistently push the definition of what art is and what it can do — combining record-breaking digital projection technology with Hyperreal Sound, water-based haze effects, and interactive environments that are as much experienced as viewed.
The 6,000-square-foot space features a 270-degree seamless projection environment — walls, floor, and ceiling covered in the highest megapixel count projection system of any cultural institution in the world. Each exhibition is a complete sensory world created by a specific artist or studio, typically running for several months before being completely replaced by an entirely new show. Past programmes have ranged from Refik Anadol's AI-generated data sculptures to collaborations with the Musée d'Orsay that reimagined Impressionist masterpieces as living digital environments. Exhibitions typically explore themes including nature, science, data, cultural heritage, and the relationship between humanity and technology — approached through visual languages that are simultaneously accessible and intellectually rich.
The XR Bar is one of ARTECHOUSE's most distinctive and most praised features — an extended reality cocktail bar where media art projections surround you as you enjoy creative drinks inspired by the current exhibition's themes. Ticket holders receive 50% off all drinks at the XR Bar, making it an ideal post-exhibition destination to reflect on the experience over something extraordinary. Sessions begin every 30 minutes throughout the day — select your preferred time slot at booking and stay as long as you like within the gallery once inside. Photography and video are actively encouraged throughout. Book your ARTECHOUSE New York ticket now on Thrillark and save up to 15%.

Insiders' Tips
Book a session near opening on a weekday morning for the most uncrowded and most atmospheric experience — the projection environments are dramatically more immersive when visitors are not crowding the field of view. Avoid standing near the haze release points on the walls if you are sensitive to mist effects. The XR Bar is the ideal post-exhibition stop — the 50% drink discount makes it genuinely excellent value and the bar's own extended reality environment is worth experiencing in its own right.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ARTECHOUSE New York?
ARTECHOUSE New York is the nation's first immersive digital art space dedicated to the intersection of art, science, and technology — located beneath Chelsea Market in a repurposed 150-year-old boiler room, with 6,000 square feet of 270-degree seamless projection covering walls, floor, and ceiling, Hyperreal Sound technology, and a rotating programme of exhibitions by leading global digital artists.
What makes ARTECHOUSE different from other immersive art experiences in New York?
ARTECHOUSE features the largest seamless megapixel count projection system of any cultural institution in the world — a 270-degree environment where the entire room becomes the artwork, combined with Hyperreal Sound spatial audio and interactive elements including AI, augmented reality, and gesture-controlled installations. Unlike many immersive experiences, ARTECHOUSE commissions original large-scale works from internationally recognised digital artists rather than digitalising existing artworks.
What exhibitions has ARTECHOUSE New York shown?
Past exhibitions have included works by pioneering digital artist Refik Anadol, Pantone-themed colour explorations, work by French digital art studio Adrien M & Claire B, and a collaboration with the Musée d'Orsay reimagining Impressionist masterpieces as digital environments. Exhibitions change regularly and each is a completely original creation — always check the official ARTECHOUSE website before visiting for the current programme.
How does the 270-degree projection environment at ARTECHOUSE work?
The 6,000-square-foot former boiler room is lined with seamless projection surfaces across walls, ceiling, and floor — surrounding visitors entirely in the exhibition's digital environment with no visible boundaries between surfaces. Combined with Hyperreal Sound spatial audio that fills the entire space three-dimensionally, the effect creates a complete sensory immersion that makes visitors feel genuinely inside the artwork rather than observing it.
How long does a visit to ARTECHOUSE New York take?
Most visitors spend approximately 45 to 90 minutes in the main exhibition space — there is no time limit once inside, so visitors who want to absorb every element of the installation at a deeply unhurried pace can stay for the full duration of their session. Adding the XR Bar extends the visit further with the 50% drink discount included.
Is ARTECHOUSE New York suitable for families with young children?
Yes — children aged 0 to 3 enter free and the visual environments consistently engage younger visitors, though parents should be aware that some exhibitions feature intense lighting effects, surround sound, and water-based haze that may be overwhelming for very young or sensitive children. Children under 12 must be accompanied by a guardian throughout the space.
What are the haze effects at ARTECHOUSE New York?
Some ARTECHOUSE exhibitions use water-based haze special effects to enhance the atmospheric quality of the projection environment — a fine mist released from specific points in the walls that can create a sense of depth and volume in the visual field. Guests who are sensitive to mist effects should avoid standing near the haze release points, which are indicated within the space. All haze effects are water-based and non-harmful.
Do I need to book ARTECHOUSE New York tickets in advance?
Advance booking is strongly recommended — sessions are timed with 30-minute intervals and popular time slots on weekends and during major exhibitions can sell out ahead of time. Booking through Thrillark saves up to 15% on the standard rate with instant confirmation and your preferred session time secured. Photography throughout is actively encouraged — fully charge your device before visiting.
