Adult Programs explore the complexity of modern and contemporary art through an array of programs (artist presentations, gallery talks, lectures, MoMA Courses, symposia, workshops, etc.) that are accessible to audiences of various levels. Using MoMA’s collection and special exhibitions as a point of focus, the programs enable participants to gain insight through firsthand looking and discussions with distinguished art historians, artists, MoMA curators, poets, and writers.
