Neuberger Museum at 50
This year, the Neuberger is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary with special exhibitions and events. Part of that celebration is a four-part multimedia exhibition titled The Making of a Museum: 50 Years, a riff on the Neuberger’s very first exhibition in 1974, The Making of a Museum: 1.
Exhibition Aims to Create Space for Reflections on Conflict
When Hudson Valley MOCA’s president and co-founder Livia Straus chose the theme for the museum’s third annual juried show, WAR, early in 2023, she envisioned artwork that would encompass many types of conflicts.

Maestro
Some liked it a lot. Some didn’t. I am talking about the movie Maestro, an intimate version of the life of Leonard Bernstein, legendary conductor of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, and “bad boy “of the music world. Many of his fans were disappointed that the movie was more about his love life than his music, even though there was a lot of brilliant music in the film, to be sure.

What is the Arts Exchange?
Imagine a place where art and Commerce Intersect.
A bank filled with creative energy, a magnificent historic landmark tenderly restored as a counterpoint to newly built modern structures. A site where talented visual and performing artists create, rehearse, mingle and showcase their work. That was the dream of ArtsWestchester when we purchased and restored the old People’s National Bank, formerly a Chase bank, and recreated it as the Arts Exchange. It now hums with activity, but still belongs to the people, furthering our mission of making the arts available and accessible, offering something for everyone…a work of art all its own.
