New York City's cultural institutions are hosting events to encourage civic engagement during the midterm elections. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, among other cultural institutions, is serving as a polling site for the midterm elections on November 3. Mayor Eric Adams cast his vote at The Met, highlighting the intersection of art and civic duty.
The Met is hosting an exhibition on costume art, which has been met with mixed reviews. The exhibition is currently on display and open to the public.
Powerhouse Arts has collaborated with artisans from the Mexico-based Mestiz Studio to create an enormous ofrenda in the Flatiron District's North Plaza. This installation is in observance of Día de Muertos and aims to honor ancestors and loved ones while encouraging voter participation for future generations.
Marc Straus Gallery in Tribeca is hosting an exhibition titled The Prime of Your Life, featuring 18 women artists aged 75 and above. The exhibition explores the theme of aging in the art world and is open to the public until November 7.
