Museum Partnership Programs
Young Audiences New York partners with some of the city's top cultural and educational institutions in an effort to connect students, teachers and families to a wide array of resources the city has to offer.
With our museum partnerships, teachers and artists design a residency program inspired by exhibitions at the partnering museum. The residencies include in-school and on-site workshops, museum visits, professional development for teachers and a culminating exhibit of student work at the museum. These are highly sought-after programs for students Pre-K through 12. Space is limited and applications are required.

The Global Africa Project
An unprecedented exhibition exploring the broad spectrum of contemporary African art, design, and craft worldwide, The Global Africa Project premieres at the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) this November. Featuring the work of over 60 artists in Africa, Europe, Asia, the United States, and the Caribbean, The Global Africa Project surveys the rich pool of new talent emerging from the African continent and its influence on artists around the world. Through ceramics, basketry, textiles, jewelry, furniture, and fashion, as well as selective examples of architecture, photography, painting, and sculpture, the exhibition actively challenges conventional notions of a singular African aesthetic or identity, and reflects the integration of African art and design without making the usual distinctions between "professional" and "artisan."

The New York Transit Museum, located in a decommissioned subway station on the corner of Boerum Place and Schermerhorn Street in Brooklyn Heights, is the largest museum of public transportation history in the United States. It is one of only a few museums in the world dedicated to telling the story of urban mass transportation - from the people who developed it and are served by it to the city and region it has helped to shape.

A Retrospective: Yoshitomo Nara (born 1959)
Asia Society is pleased to present a major retrospective of Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara (born 1959). The exhibition assembles 20 years' worth of paintings, sculpture, drawings, and large-scale installations that map the evolution of one of the most influential and internationally renowned NeoPop artists working today. Nobody's Fool draws connections between the artist's work and the sensibilities of youth subcultures worldwide, focusing on themes of alienation and rebellion, particularly in relation to rock and punk music, the inspiration and subject of many of Nara's works. The graphic nature of Nara's art recalls the lyrics of rock groups such as Nirvana, The Doors, and The Ramones, and his art has inspired a cult following among youth throughout Asia.
