Where
artists gather

Welcome to Polite Society. What began as New York City's premier artist salon has evolved into something bigger; A community for artists, patrons, and lovers of creativity. Join us for intimate artistic gatherings, hosted dinners, and highly curated performances. We redefine the traditional arts club. This is a community of creatives who understand that inspiration can be found in grace, boldness, and just a dash of mischief.

Join the club
