in-house rental items
smARTspace at 78th is a "DIY" space, requiring rental of most items for your event (tables, chairs, linens, etc). While you are welcome to hire any rental company to deliver items, we have a variety of in-house items available to rent at rates around 20% lower than other sources with no delivery fee. See our In-House Rentals page for more info.
