The organizers of Art Week NYC today announced the thirty-two cultural institutions and nonprofit organizations participating in the event’s inaugural edition, to take place November 11–14 across the city.
Designed around New York’s gallery neighborhoods, Art Week NYC aims to celebrate the city’s one-of-a-kind art ecosystem by bringing together museums, cultural institutions, galleries, artists, collectors, and audiences. Participating institutions and organizations will present exhibitions and special programming, with conversations, tours, and special events occurring throughout the week.
Among the institutional participants is the New Museum, which is teaming up with Artforum to host “Five Talks,” a daylong program in its New Museum Theater on November 14. Topics for the event will include the redesign of notable museum spaces across the city, the growing number of artists taking up filmmaking, the economic conditions faced by artists living and working in New York, and the impact of machine intelligence on studio practice.

“Art Week NYC is a new initiative that brings the art world together, in a city that has been historically shaped and transformed by artists,” said New Museum director Massimiliano Gioni in a statement. “We are thrilled that the New Museum will be at its center, as a catalyst for dialogues between artists, architects, curators, filmmakers, and the public: we have always thought of our institution as a place of encounters and conversations—a public plaza for new ideas.”
“New York City’s world-renowned galleries and museums draw art lovers from all over the globe, but they belong first and foremost to the New Yorkers who live here,” said New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin in a statement. “Art Week NYC opens the door for our city’s own artists and art lovers to support and be inspired by the creative institutions in our own backyard. The success of our city’s cultural sphere has always been built on the voices and hearts of New Yorkers, and this week gives more of them a way to take part.”
Select museums and institutions are presented in partnership with Bloomberg Connects. More than eighty galleries in Chelsea, TriBeCa, the Lower East Side, and the Upper East Side are set to take part as well.
