| The New
Museum offers quite a host of events, programs and exhibitions
for members, students, educators and the public. Of these
are talks, workshops, film and video screenings, music events,
performances, and digital media projects to encourage debate
and discussion about contemporary culture.
"Founded in 1977, the New Museum is the premier contemporary
art museum in New York City and among the most important internationally.
Dynamic solo exhibitions and landmark group shows define key
moments in the development of contemporary art, reflect the
global nature of art today, and span a vast array of cultural
activities and media. The Museum is guided by the conviction
that contemporary art is a vital social force that extends
beyond the art world into the broader culture."
"The New Museum features an entire floor, open free
of charge, where you can drop in to read, think, talk, browse,
and experience interactive artists' projects. Three galleries
and a mezzanine level showcase innovative art that you won't
see in other museums. The New Museum is the only place where
the art is truly global, presenting an astonishing range of
installations, videos, paintings, and sculptures from around
the world. The Education Department organizes compelling panel
discussions, film and video series, and lectures to introduce
challenging new concepts to a broad public. The New Museum
Store offers the latest catalogues and publications, as well
as imaginative gifts and limited edition works of art."
