for some events.
Events listed as “FYI” are MoMA
Public Programs; all other events are arranged solely for
The Junior Associates or by special invitation.

- If you have responded "yes" to
an event and find that you cannot attend, please let us

so we can accommodate others who may be on a waiting list.
This is especially important for private collection and
artists' studio visits, events that are often limited to
a certain number of Junior Associates.

the number of attendees, please keep in mind that this is
due to the size of the space and/or the wishes of the host,
which must be respected. Also remember that non-members
absolutely CANNOT be accommodated in these instances, as
they would be taking the place of your fellow Junior Associates.
- We will make every effort to accommodate
guests at Museum curatorial walkthroughs and any other events
where space is not limited. However, please do not make
assumptions, and kindly check with the JA office before
bringing a guest.
