2023 Brendan Gill Prize

In 2022, what creative works inspired you and made you feel more connected to New York City? Are you an artist who made a piece in 2022 that represents the city's culture, history, and excitement? 

MAS invites members of the public, artists, producers, writers, and other creatives to submit nominations for the 2023 Brendan Gill Prize. Click here to submit a nomination today: https://masnyc.typeform.com/to/Y78WYGVw?typeform-source=www.mas.org. 

The Gill Prize is given each year to the creator of a specific work; a book, essay, musical composition, play, painting, sculpture, film, or choreographic piece, that best captures the spirit and energy of New York City. The 2023 Gill Prize will be awarded to an honoree who created an exceptional work in 2022.

Virtual Gallery Talk: In the Wake

On Tuesday, January 24, meet the artists behind In the Wake, the The Doris C. and Alan J. Freedman Gallery’s recent group exhibition. Organized by Stanley Greenberg, the show reminds us of the complexity, urgency, and promise of the challenge facing our city as we mark the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Sandy and the first anniversary of Hurricane Ida. Join Stanley and five of the artists featured in the show as they explore their creative works and contemplate what New York’s climate future looks like.

Attendance is FREE with RSVP but donations are appreciated.
