As you get ready for 2015 and think about resolutions for the new year, get a head start on adding more art (and inspiration) to your life with this week’s programs.

• All week long the Museum will open one hour early, at 9:30 a.m., for special holiday hours.

• Celebrate 85 years of MoMA by making a year-end gift to the annual fund. Make your gift before 2014 comes to an end (and receive a special tote bag with a donation of $85 or more).

• On Wednesday, join us for a very special evening celebrating Henri Matisse’s birthday and New Year’s Eve. Midnight with Matisse features a private tour of the exhibition Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs followed by cocktails, music, and hors d’oeuvres at MoMA’s Michelin-starred restaurant The Modern.
