FEATURED EVENTS

Saturday, November 14th - Join us for our November Family Day and make your own handheld paper lantern as we explore how people brought light into their homes before electricity. Families can choose between a traditional cone shaped lantern or a special Morris-Jumel Mansion lantern modeled after the historic house. Decorate your lantern with colorful tissue paper then add a battery operated tea light to watch it glow! All materials provided while supplies last. This activity is designed for all ages and children are welcomed to create with the help of an adult.

November 7 - Join us for our November Open House, a free, all-ages day of programs and activities inspired by our new exhibitions. Be among the first to experience these exciting shows and join us for family workshops, artist talks, a sound bath, a makers market, and our 50th-anniversary stoop sale. The event celebrates the opening of Hard Art, a landmark exhibition examining the legacy of abstraction by Black artists in the US from 1969 to today. Legendary artists Howardena Pindell and James Little—who all also participated in PS1’s Afro-American Abstraction (1980)—join The Agnes Gund Director Connie Butler for a lively conversation on their practices.

October 31 through November 15, 2026 - Explore displays of Japanese chrysanthemums, or kiku, that have been expertly trained over the past 11 months into incredible shapes and styles. Chrysanthemum blooms burst with color, trained into traditional forms, including the ozukuri, or “thousand bloom”—a feat of nature and intricate plant cultivation which produces hundreds of chrysanthemum flowers from one stem. Seasonal fall flowers in warm, rich hues complement this must-see spectacle.
