Annual Exhibition Fund

Unlike other museums, where exhibitions are scheduled years in advance, MoMA PS1 maintains a flexible calendar. While this affords MoMA PS1 the freedom to present “of-the-moment” work, planning time is significantly shorter—often no more than three to six months. The MoMA PS1 Annual Exhibition Fund was created to help ensure the success of this vibrant program of exhibitions within a shortened time frame.

Charles RousselMoMA PS1’s Annual Benefit Gala is the museum’s largest fundraising event of the year. The Gala benefits PS1’s general operating fund, which supports our wide range of artist-centric and community-driven programming.
For the first time ever, the 2022 Benefit Gala was held in PS1’s Courtyard, and celebrated the institution’s past, present, and future. The event honored the legendary Agnes Gund, former Chair of PS1’s Board of Directors, and a constellation of artists, including Djali Brown-Cepeda, founder of the digital archiving project Nuevayorkinos; Rashid Johnson, whose site-specific installation Stage is on view in the Courtyard; and Deana Lawson, the subject of a career-long survey on view through September 5. The event was co-chaired by Sarah Arison, Chair of the MoMA PS1 Board; Robert Soros, MoMA PS1 board member, and Darren Walker, President of the Ford Foundation.
Stay tuned for more information about the 2023 Annual Benefit Gala.
