ART 2030 New York is a platform uniting the contemporary art world in support of the United Nations’ 17 Global Goals, coinciding with the annual sessions of the United Nations' General Assembly.
In its inagural program in September 2018, ART 2030 New York brought together some of the most important and diverse voices in visual art to participate in urgent discussions on how best to create and contribute to a shared and sustainable future. In collaboration with ART 2030, partnering galleries and arts organizations participated by hosting after-hours openings, panel discussions and special events.

The first gallery event of ART 2030 New York, hosted by Gagosian with Bottletop, focused on the topic of Equality, with specific attention to Global Goal 5, Gender Equality. How is it that this seminal issue is still a divisive topic in 2018? And how can both individual and collective action, through creative means, work to resolve some of the broader issue’s many related biases?
The Panel was moderated by Johanna Burton (Director and Curator of Education and Public Engagement, New Museum), and joined by Mary Weatherford (Artist), Ulla Tørnæs (Danish Minister for Development Cooperation), and Cameron Saul (Founder of Bottletop and #TOGETHERBAND).

A unique version of the performance Tow with the Flow (2018) by Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen is commissioned specifically for this year’s program.
Working closely with local students from New Design High School as co-creators of this New York rendition, the performance features custom-made uniforms created by sustainable Scandinavian design studio sur le chemin inspired by the colors of the 17 Global Goals. Through performative acts such as collecting, sharing and dressing, the artwork draws attention to the business of fashion and its culture of mass consumption.
