Art Week NYC today announced the participating cultural institutions and nonprofit organizations for its inaugural citywide event, taking place November 11–14, 2026. Art Week NYC will celebrate New York’s extraordinary art ecosystem by bringing together museums, cultural institutions, galleries, artists, collectors, and audiences across the city. Select museums and institutions are presented in partnership with Bloomberg Connects.

Art Week NYC will feature a full day of public programming presented in partnership with Artforum and the New Museum, Art Week’s primary institutional partner, on Saturday, November 14 at the New Museum Theater.

Under the banner of “Art and the City,” these five talks will feature artists, architects, filmmakers, critics, and writers in five conversations examining the forces shaping art and culture in New York. Topics will include the redesign of notable museum spaces across the city, the growing movement of artists into filmmaking, the economic conditions faced by artists working in New York, and the impact of machine intelligence on studio practice.

This collaboration coincides with a significant moment for the New Museum, including the largest survey to date of the work of Arthur Jafa; the first New York solo museum exhibition of artist Diego Marcon; an exhibition tracing four hundred years in the history of the Bowery; and a new commission by artist Ho Tzu Nyen in the OMA-designed expansion of the museum’s downtown home.

The New Museum’s Toby Devan Lewis Director, Massimiliano Gioni, said, “Art Week NYC is a new initiative that brings the art world together, in a city that has been historically shaped and transformed by artists. We are thrilled that the New Museum will be at its center, as a catalyst for dialogues between artists, architects, curators, filmmakers, and the public: we have always thought of our institution as a place of encounters and conversations—a public plaza for new ideas.”

Art Week NYC will further expand across the city via the participation of leading museums, cultural organizations, nonprofits, and civic institutions.

Designed around the gallery neighborhoods, Art Week NYC will connect programming across Chelsea, Tribeca, the Lower East Side, the Upper East Side, and beyond. The citywide format will encourage audiences to move through New York and experience galleries, museums, cultural institutions, public spaces, and neighborhood destinations as part of one interconnected art week.

“New York City's world-renowned galleries and museums draw art lovers from all over the globe, but they belong first and foremost to the New Yorkers who live here,” said City Council Speaker Julie Menin. “Art Week NYC opens the door for our city's own artists and art lovers to support and be inspired by the creative institutions in our own backyard. The success of our city's cultural sphere has always been built on the voices and hearts of New Yorkers, and this week gives more of them a way to take part.”

“New York City’s cultural landscape is one of our greatest strengths, but it only thrives when New Yorkers are able to experience it, explore it and see themselves as part of it,” said Deputy Speaker Dr. Nantasha Williams. “A thriving cultural ecosystem creates opportunities on both sides: greater visibility and new audiences for artists, and greater access for New Yorkers to the range of art being created and presented across our city. Art Week NYC creates an opportunity to open more doors, bring new audiences into galleries and museums across the city, and introduce people to artists and cultural spaces they may not otherwise encounter. I’m excited about the energy Art Week will bring to our neighborhoods and the opportunity to deepen New Yorkers’ connection to the arts across our city.”
