MoMA PS1

Artist-centered and community-driven, MoMA PS1 embraces boundary-breaking ideas and experimental practices. A place where audiences can encounter and engage with new art and perspectives, the institution has offered insight into artists’ worldviews for nearly 50 years. Driven by a commitment to realizing artists’ visions, our programs explore the ways in which creative expression can inspire connection.

At MoMA PS1, we understand community is not a monolith but an ever-evolving constellation of local and international artists, organizations, and neighbors, gathering both in-person and online to address, problematize, and envision creative solutions to the most pressing issues of our times. We challenge the notion that New York City is a “melting pot” of identities and seek to engage diverse and even disparate points of view by offering and amplifying multiple perspectives through our programming. We operate from the belief that to be in a community is to nurture non-agential collective action while recognizing our positionality as a museum and community of cultural workers capable of leveraging our tangible resources in support of the many communities in which we coexist.
