NEW INC is the first museum-led cultural incubator, for creative entrepreurs working at the intersection of art, design and technology. NEW INC was conceived of as a not-for-profit platform, furthering the NEW MUSEUM’s ongoing commitment to new art and new ideas.
I was a Member from 2018-2020, and am a 2024 Mentor.
The NEW MUSEUM was officially founded by Marcia Tucker, January 1st, 1977 - it was the first museum devoted to contemporary art established in New York City since the Second World War. Positioned between a traditional museum and an alternative space, the NEW MUSEUM’s stated mission was to be a catalyst for a broad dialogue between artists and the public by establishing “an exhibition, information, and documentation center for contemporary art made within a period of approximately ten years prior to the present.” The Museum presented the work of living artists who did not yet have wide public exposure or critical acceptance to a broader public.
