UPCOMING EVENTS
Events are the cornerstone of Museums Council of New York City membership and participation. The opportunity to learn from colleagues, get a behind-the-scenes look at member institutions' exhibitions and collections, and network with each other is a benefit for all member institution staff.
To help limit the spread of COVID-19 and support the city and state’s effort to promote social distancing, Museums Council member institutions are temporarily closed to visitors during this global pandemic. We encourage you to click on each museum’s weblink to view their status and explore the digital offerings related to exhibitions and programs. In addition, visit Virtual NYC, the city's guide to online resources that includes many ways our members are giving access to their #MuseumFromHome including explorations of objects in a museum’s digital collections and handpicked educational and inspirational videos of exhibitions and programs.
Our first virtual meeting was hosted by the Alice Austen House on Thursday, July 30, 4–5:30 pm, and we are now investigating the availability of other museums interested in entertain virtual gatherings and tours of their site. If you are interested in hosting a Museums Council Meeting, contact us at info@museumscouncil.org.
Our upcoming virtual meeting is at The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum
Wednesday, May 12, 2021, 4:00-5:00 pm ET
In this presentation, Brett Littman, Director of the Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum in Queens, NY, will explore Noguchi's aesthetic philosophies, his identity, and the founding of his own museum in Long Island City, opened to the public in 1985. He will also discuss several of Noguchi’s boundary projects that cross multiple art disciplines.
Following the presentation, we invite all attendees to share the reopening plans, current and upcoming projects, exhibitions, and programs at their institutions. The Museums Council 'Round-Up' is the best way to get highlights of what’s happening at NYC museums, directly from your colleagues.
