P.S.1 Annual Exhibition Fund

P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, a MoMA affiliate, founded by Alanna Heiss in 1971, is one of the world’s oldest and largest organizations devoted solely to the advancement of contemporary art. P.S.1 and The Museum of Modern Art formalized their affiliation in January 2000, bringing together a leader in contemporary art and one of the foremost modern art museums in the country.

Combining a fast-moving, provocative approach to exhibitions with the direct involvement of artists, P.S.1 presents an extensive program of exhibitions and events in its nearly 125,000-square-foot facility. Unlike other museums, where exhibitions are scheduled years in advance, P.S.1 maintains a flexible calendar. While this affords P.S.1 the freedom to present“of-the-moment” work, planning time is significantly shorter—often no more than three to six months. The P.S.1 Annual Exhibition Fund was created to help ensure the success of this vibrant program of exhibitions within the shortened timeline.

Depending on the level of sponsorship, benefits may include:

• Use of logo on select materials
• Sponsorship credit in exhibition materials, including invitations, signage, press release, and MoMA and P.S.1 Web sites
• Sponsorship credit on P.S.1’s donor wall
• Invitations to exhibition opening events
• Private tours of the exhibition for VIPs
