The above events are subject to confirmation
and announcements of these and others as scheduled will be
sent to you in advance of each event. Please
note that it may be necessary to limit the number of attendees
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.
Please RSVP to events by calling the
JA RSVP line at (212) 333-1257 or by
e-mailing Alexandra Olson at alexandra_olson@moma.org.
- PLEASE NOTE THAT RSVPS FOR ANY GIVEN EVENT
WILL NOT BE TAKEN EARLIER THAN THREE WEEKS PRIOR TO THE

If you do not hear from the JA office please assume that
there are no problems with your response. However, always
feel free to contact the JA office at (212) 708-9514 or
(212) 333-1240 with any questions.
- If you have responded "yes" to
an event and find that you cannot attend, please let us
know as soon as possible. Timely information is appreciated,
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.
- With regards to events where we must limit
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.
- You are ALWAYS invited with a guest to Museum
opening receptions.
