LONG ISLAND CITY, NY, February 3, 2026 –Today, MoMA PS1 announced a full slate of programming and celebrations for its 50th anniversary year. To kick off the anniversary, last month the museum removed financial barriers to entry by launching free admission for all visitors, becoming the largest free museum in New York City. Hallmark anniversary programming includes the much-anticipated sixth edition of Greater New York, PS1’s signature survey of New York artists, which will span the entirety of the building beginning April 16, 2026.
A large-scale public celebration of MoMA PS1’s 50th Anniversary will take place on April 18, the opening weekend of Greater New York, featuring family programs, activations by community partners, local food vendors, and more. Additional programming in PS1’s anniversary year also includes a major outdoor commission by Precious Okoyomon in the courtyard, a historic survey of Black artists working in abstraction, an archival exhibition examining the history of fashion at PS1, a publication on the museum’s Homeroom program, and the first US survey of Teresa Margolles, organized with The Museum of Modern Art. The anniversary year also includes a special season of Warm Up, the museum’s signature summer music series, and the 50th Anniversary Gala honoring founder Alanna Heiss and former MoMA Director Glenn Lowry.
