The Center for Italian Modern Art (CIMA) was established in 2013 as an exhibition and research center to bridge the cultural gap between Italy and the United States in the narratives of 20th century art and culture. Through annual exhibitions, multiple art historical fellowships awarded each year to international doctoral candidates, and a vast calendar of public initiatives, CIMA provides opportunities for the public and scholars alike to explore Italian masterpieces and consider the legacy and ongoing impact of this work on contemporary art and culture. Each year CIMA presents an installation in its SoHo loft dedicated to work rarely seen outside of Italy. The 2016-17 exhibition season focuses on Giorgio de Chirico, founder of Metaphysical art, and conceptual artist Giulio Paolini.

Located in New York City, the world's first and foremost vertical metropolis, The Skyscraper Museum celebrates the City's rich architectural heritage and examines the historical forces and individuals that have shaped its successive skylines. Through exhibitions, programs and publications, the Museum explores tall buildings as objects of design, products of technology, sites of construction, investments in real estate, and places of work and residence.
The Museum of Jewish Heritage, located in Battery Park City in Manhattan, New York City, is a memorial to those who perished in the Holocaust. The building, designed by Roche-Dinkeloo, is topped by a pyramid structure called the Living Memorial to the Holocaust. The museum opened in 1997. More than 1.5 million visitors from all over the world have visited the museum. The mission statement of the museum is "to educate people of all ages and backgrounds about the broad tapestry of Jewish life in the 20th and 21st centuries — before, during, and after the Holocaust."
I like to imagine Fulton and South Streets in 1812 when Peter Schermerhorn completed the 12 buildings that comprise Schermerhorn Row, when people came from all over New York to marvel at this row of Federal-style warehouses on the East River. In those days the piers were crowded with ships from all over the world discharging their cargoes of coffee, tea, cotton, molasses, and countless other trade goods upon the piers of South Street. The trade represented by these ships and the counting-houses, hotels, and warehouses of the South Street Seaport is the very trade that built the growing New York City and through it the United States of America. In the late 1960s, visionary preservationists set aside a collection of entire city blocks in the South Street Seaport district as an area worthy of care and attention. These blocks of early- to mid- nineteenth century buildings, coupled with a series of piers crowded with historic ships would tell the vital story of the formation and growth of New York, a city built on—and because of—its deep natural harbor and its connection through the Erie Canal to the inner states and territories of the new nation. Today, more than two hundred years after Schermerhorn Row was completed, New York is a very different place. The Row is no longer the largest building in the city; it is dwarfed in fact by the surrounding financial district. The piers are no longer crowded with ships, but that same deep-water harbor is seeing a renaissance of education, of commercial and ferry service, of oyster aquaculture, and of attention from New Yorkers. Indeed, now more than ever the story of the formation of New York—the story of a city built on its waterways—is critical to our city. This is not a dry history, but a living tale of growth, of sacrifice, and of opportunity. The story and its reverberations play out in the education programs aboard our schooners PIONEER and LETTIE G. HOWARD. They are carried in the hearts of the scores of volunteers who work regularly and without pay to preserve our tug W.O. DECKER and the mighty square-riggers PEKING and WAVERTREE. They burn brightly in the lamps of the lightship AMBROSE. Although Hurricane Sandy is behind us, the challenges we face are still daunting. However the very same spirit that led Schermerhorn and others to build, to grow, and to prosper in early New York will once again carry the day. For here we have a Museum, not of artifacts and buildings and ships, though we have those. Not of interpretive signs, galleries, and stories, though those abound as well. Here we have a museum of the people. A museum that thrives as the beating heart of the historic South Street Seaport district. Welcome to South Street Seaport Museum. Our dedicated staff and volunteers (who are educators, sailors, preservationists, and some of the finest humans on the planet) are ready to welcome you aboard our ships and into our galleries and shops. We work together toward the next successful chapter of our “little museum that could.” Please join us for a visit, join as a member, and join the ranks of the proud volunteers who take a firsthand role in the preservation of old New York and the building of new New York. I look forward to seeing you soon at South Street. Captain Jonathan Boulware Executive Director
The Shirley Fiterman Art Center, in partnership with the BMCC Foundation Board, a not-for-profit organization, is dedicated to raising funds for student scholarships, and ensuring the success of its students, who come from every borough of New York City, and countries around the world, seeking better lives. Art ahead, is a series of curated exhibitions that explores risk taking and sparks conversation on art. The goal of the series is to engage students, faculty, staff and the community of BMCC, as well as a larger audience throughout New York City, in a dialogue of art and its role in our daily lives. Access to art is one priority of the series. Another is starting a relationship with art that will grow throughout a person’s life. Art will be available for sale at the event, with proceeds benefiting the BMCC Foundation Scholarship Fund.

If you're an artist or art lover and you're in or near NYC this Friday, you gotta check out The Collaborators: An interactive live art exhibition. We find the most talented emerging artists from around NYC to collaborate on an original work of art in front of a live audience. We invite each amazing artist to paint in our studio/gallery as a group of classy and creative guests enjoy this intimate and provocative experience of witnessing and interacting with the artists as they create. Each artist creates using their own unique process and personality so no two evenings are ever the same. Over the course of three events, three different artists take there turn to create one single masterpiece. Each work of art that is created is exhibited in our gallery and available to purchase by art collectors. We then select three different artists to work on a new piece in the same process. Our goal is to cultivate relationships with dedicated artists and provide a platform for them to collaborate, exhibit and reach their audience.

Postmasters Gallery has been named “Best 2014 New York Gallery” by the Village Voice, the same year it celebrated its 30th anniversary. The gallery opened in East Village in 1984, moved to Soho in 1989 and in 1998 to Chelsea. In October 2013, after 15 years in Chelsea, Postmasters opened its new 6000 sqf ground-floor space at 54 Franklin Street in Tribeca. The current location allows us to present two exhibitions simultaneously. We represent young and established artists of all media and actively seek new forms of creative expression to show them in the context of traditional formats. The artworks are generally content-oriented, conceptually based, and - most importantly - reflective of our time. Postmasters has a long history of showing new media art beginning with - now seminal – 1996 exhibition “Can You Digit?” Painters (David Diao, Austin Lee, Steve Mumford, Adam Cvijanovic and William Powhida), sculptors (Monica Cook, John Powers, Daria Irincheeva), photographers (Mark Dorf, Chris Verene), installation and conceptual artists (Diana Cooper, Sally Smart) are represented along the video, new media and internet artists like Guy Ben Ner, Shamus Clisset, Jennifer & Kevin McCoy, Ryder Ripps, Rafael Rozendaal, Ernesto Klar, Serkan Özkaya, Eva & Franco Mattes, Federico Solmi and Wolfgang Staehle. for more of us follow us on -> Instagram: @postmastersgallery -> Twitter: Magda - owner/director: @magdasawon Tamas - owner/director: @bloater Paulina - director: @piniakot
