Laurie Beckelman
In 2016, Laurie Beckelman became the Associate Director of The Shed, following several years serving as lead consultant for the project since its inception. In her current role she is a member of the Executive Management Team and oversees all aspects of the design, construction and technical operations of this multi-arts space. In addition she is responsible for all government relations and supports The Shed’s fundraising efforts.
Currently under construction on the far west side of Manhattan where the High Line meets Hudson Yards, The Shed will be housed in a 200,000-square-foot, six-level structure designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Rockwell Group. The radically flexible design of the performative structure can physically and operationally accommodate the broadest range of performance, visual art, music, and multi-disciplinary work. The Shed is a nonprofit cultural organization and is slated to open in Spring 2019.
