OUR STORY

The Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling is proudly located on West 155th Street in Upper Manhattan, the geographic center of the legendary Sugar Hill historic district, where we welcome visitors from around the block and around the world to discover, explore and engage with the work of accomplished legacy, contemporary and emerging artists and storytellers.

The Museum’s 14,000sf of purpose-built galleries, artmaking studios and community gathering spaces nurture the curiosity and creative spirit of all visitors. Our exhibitions, storytelling and artmaking programs invite participants of all ages to grow as both author and audience. Attentive to the needs of the youngest members of our community, the Museum fosters the creative intelligence and cognitive skills that prepare children for social and academic success, positively impacting their own futures and the future of their community.

The Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling is a program of the nonprofit Broadway Housing Communities (BHC). For over 40 years, BHC’s community-based housing model has generated meaningful change and sustainable pathways out of poverty for adults, children and families in West Harlem and Washington Heights. At BHC’s Sugar Hill campus, the Museum joins 124 units of deeply affordable permanent housing for single adults, families and elders, and an arts-based early childhood center that serves over 120 neighborhood children and families. 

Broadway Housing Communities (BHC) believes equitable access to housing, education and the arts builds healthy communities. To learn more, visit bhc.org.
