My first painting in 20 years

Even though fall is upon us and the new school year is fully underway, I find myself reflecting on summer, specifically a new teacher program we launched. One of the highlights of my summer, MoMA at the Beach, brought together 15 art-studio teachers from the Tri-State area and three instructors to The Art Barge in Amagansett for a workshop focusing on painting, techniques, materials, and process.

Leading Museum visitors through a Gallery Conversation

Part of the 12-month internship program is the opportunity to facilitate a Gallery Conversation, a one-hour guided tour of the galleries for the public.

Community Partner Art Show: The Video

Posted by Calder Zwicky, Assistant Director, Teen and Community Partnerships

Last summer, the Community Partner Art Show opening celebrated the participants and the amazing organizations that we work with through our Community Partnership Program. It was a fantastic exhibition, and it was so powerful hearing the participating artists discuss the ideas, inspirations, and, yes, hesitations surrounding their involvement with the Museum and the creation of their artworks. I hope you enjoy the video above, which documents this exciting event.

Paula Hayes and the Art and Science teens working on our living sculptures

Contemporary Artists on Abstract Expressionist New York

Posted by Sarah Kennedy, Associate Educator, Public and Studio Programs

Artist Amy Sillman as she begins her talk in the Abstract Expressionist New York exhibition.

When we visit MoMA we expect to see works of art made by artists, but seldom do we hear firsthand from the artists themselves about the works on display—while we stand directly in front of them! The recently concluded series Abstract Expressionist New York: Artist-Led Gallery Talks offered MoMA visitors this unique opportunity.
