• The Department of Film’s Robert Altman retrospective continues tonight with the filmmaker’s jazz-infused crime drama Kansas City (1996), introduced by actor Steve Buscemi.

• Registration begins on Wednesday for the winter/spring season of MoMA Classes. Whether you’re looking for a multi-week art-historical immersion, a hands-on studio workshop, or a single evening socializing in the galleries, there’s sure to be something to spark your imagination.

• Sketch in the spirit of Toulouse-Lautrec on Thursday from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. Drop by the Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec exhibition for a free, informal drawing session in the galleries or with a live model.

• On Friday, MoMA Studio hosts “Drawing with Scissors”: A Cut-Out Contest. Don’t miss your chance to try Matisse’s signature cut-paper techniques. Special guest judges will chose winners in the categories of technique, fluidity, form, and originality.

• Sunday is last day to see A Collection of Ideas, a crowd-pleasing exhibition of new design acquisitions, including the first video games to enter MoMA’s collection (which can be played by visitors).

• And finally, head to Sundays Sessions at MoMA PS1 for BAUER HOUR, performer and choreographer Eleanor Bauer’s hourlong, whatever-goes variety/talk show.
