Shelter from the Storm: An Artist's Eye with Stan Allen and Polly Apfelbaum is a group exhibition at the National Academy of Design, on view from September 18, 2026 to January 16, 2027. It is a collaborative curatorial project by architect Stan Allen and visual artist Polly Apfelbaum, a married couple selected by the Academy's Exhibition Committee for their complementary ways of thinking and making. Part of the Academy's ongoing Artist's Eye series begun in 1992, it is the first edition since 2013, the first co-curated by two National Academicians, the first curated by an architect, and the first collection-only show of this scale since the Chelsea galleries opened in 2023. The exhibition brings together works from the Academy's collection that explore conflict, memory, and resilience, rethinking its historic holdings through the curators' practices and highlighting connections across landscape, abstraction, architecture, figuration, and cityscape.
