NYC Open Studios, Indigenous Art Shows, and New Museum Triennial Lead Fall Arts Calendar
From October 16-18, Sunset Park and Gowanus will host open studios in conjunction with Open House New York. In early 2027, the New Museum is set to unveil its sixth triennial dedicated to emerging artists after a five-year hiatus. Next month, the Gochman Family Collection will debut its Katonah location showcasing contemporary Indigenous art. On October 19, Materials for the Arts will initiate a complimentary shopping program for artists receiving city-funded grants, with grant amounts rising from $5,000 to $10,000. In celebration of Indigenous Peoples' Day, seven exhibitions featuring Native art are currently displayed. Last week, Raven Chacon performed at the Park Avenue Armory, while protests against Leon Black took place near the Museum of Modern Art. Upcoming activities include workshops, a concert, and a discussion with Roxane Gay on October 19.
