Talks A Gallery Talks program is held throughout the academic year. Institute faculty and curators at the Metropolitan Museum take part. Sign-up sheets are posted on a weekly basis.
Space is limited, and participation is limited to enrolled students.
Artists at the Institute Taking advantage of its location in one of the world's leading art centers, the Institute invites artists living and working in the area to come and discuss their work. Begun in 1983 with support from the New York University Humanities Council and continued through the gifts of private individuals, these talks are now funded by the Lila Acheson Wallace Program in Modern Art. The series normally includes two lectures each semester. The meetings, which take place in the Oak Room, are informal, and discussion is encouraged. The program is run entirely by interested students, and volunteers and suggestions are welcome.
