Once again Westbeth opens its doors to guided tours which detail the history and structure of the oldest and largest live work artist community in the United States. Westbeth has been landmarked by the New York City Landmarks Commission.

Westbeth was created by the J M Kaplan Foundation in 1970 with funding by the National Endowment for the Arts. The original building was built in 1895 and was for many years the site of Bell Telephone Labs, until it was renovated for artist housing by the architect Richard Meier.

It is a complex of buildings including 383 apartments for artists and their families, studio spaces, and commercial spaces that include the New School for Drama, Martha Graham Dance, School for Poetic Computation, and more.
