Salmagundi Club

The Salmagundi Club is a club for artists and people in the art scene. Located at at 47 Fifth Avenue in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, it serves as a watering hole for artists. The club often holds art exhibitions, art classes as well as art auctions.

Founded in 1871, it is one of the oldest and most prestigious art clubs in the world. The club occupies a building that is even older than itself, a mansion built in 1853 for Irad Hawley. The bulding was designated a historical landmark of New York City in 1969, and was added into the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
