Here’s what’s new in New York and beyond this fall…

This fall, New York will be treated to the long-awaited return of two institutions that help make the Big Apple one of the greatest museum cities in the world. The New Museum will open its new expansion on the Bowery with a three-floor exhibition titled “New Humans: Memories of the Future.” Uptown, the Studio Museum in Harlem will be back in action with a selection of works from its collection and an extensive overview of Tom Lloyd, whose electric-light sculptures inaugurated the museum back in 1968.

But these momentous reopenings aren’t the only art world happenings to add to your calendar this season.

Read about the exhibitions, books, and films to look forward to in fall 2025: https://www.artnews.com/list/art-in-america/features/datebook-the-art-worlds-fall-happenings-calendar-1234751059/

Happy belated birthday to an iconic artist from last century!

It’s never too late to try something new. At 77 years old, Grandma Moses decided to pick up painting as something to “keep busy and out of mischief” after the passing of her husband of fifty years.

Her work was spotted by a collector, who purchased every painting he saw in a local pharmacy window. Inspired by her upbringing on a farm in Upstate New York, she is best known for her pastoral landscape of Americana. These idyllic scenes soon grabbed the attention of Hallmark and quickly after, her paintings were seen on greeting cards across the country.

Also known as Anna May Robertson, Grandma Moses was born on September 7, 1860. 🥳🎂 Happy belated birthday!

This painting of her was created by artist Kristin Helberg, who as a child always loved Grandma Moses’ artworks.

Call for entries…

Calling all artists! DCA is excited to announce a new CALL FOR ART for the upcoming November/December 2025 Exhibition, Vanishing Landscapes.

Here's a little more about the exhibition:
Vanishing Landscapes is a group exhibition of artists working across multiple mediums including painting, photography, sculpture, video, and more, who question the relationship between the environment and self. The selected works are both personal and universal responses to the disappearing natural places that we call home.

Traditionally, a landscape is defined as a natural scenery with mountains, forests, rivers, etc. Exhibited works in Vanishing Landscapes define the term 'landscape' as both the depiction of a natural scenery, as well as the emotional, psychological and cultural landscape that we share with the natural world.
