The Highlands Current: Modern Art Space to Open in Philipstown in 2017

A 20,000-square-foot exhibition space and library devoted to postwar and contemporary Italian art will open next year on Route 9 in Philipstown. Known as Magazzino and located on the former Cyberchron site, it is being built by Nancy Olnick and Giorgio Spanu of Garrison to house their personal collection but will be open to the public by appointment.

“The idea is not to contain the art, but to share it, to host it,” said Magazzino’s director, Vittorio Calabrese.
