The Chelsea Policy Institute aims at gathering diverse, nonpartisan thought leaders, young or old, creatives, scholars and members of the public to address some of the world’s most complex problems pertinent to neighborhoods in Chelsea, New York City. But the goal of these convening and seminars is to have an impact beyond the neighborhoods of the Greater Chelsea through education and public programming such as exhibitions, documentaries, forums, and publications. They are designed to provoke, further and improve actions taken in the real world.
