institutional · 2026-10-15

Danh Vo has been selected by the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the Genesis Facade commission in 2027, while Sandra Mujinga will undertake the Great Hall commission. Vo is set to develop new works for the museum's Beaux-Arts façade, with installation scheduled for September. Mujinga's site-specific installation is planned for next November. Max Hollein, the Met's Director, commended both artists for their historical engagement. Additionally, Sarah Hayes, who has been with the Armenian Museum of America's Development department since 2023, has been named deputy director. Her ties to Armenian culture trace back to her Peace Corps service in Armenia from 2005 to 2007. The Rubin Museum has revealed the recipients of its 2026 grants, but no additional information has been disclosed.
