Guggenheim New York

An internationally renowned art museum and one of the most significant architectural feats of the 20th century, the Guggenheim Museum in New York is at once a vital cultural center, an educational institution, and the heart of an international network of museums. In 1943, Frank Lloyd Wright was commissioned to design a building to house the Museum of Non-Objective Painting, which had been established by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in 1939. Wright’s masterpiece opened to the public on October 21, 1959, six months after his death, and was immediately recognized as an architectural icon. A “temple of spirit” where radical art and architecture meet, the Guggenheim New York is among a group of eight Frank Lloyd Wright structures in the United States designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site. 

Founded in 1984, Works & Process has championed performing artists and their creative process each step from studio to stage, by producing fully funded creative residencies in five states and presenting behind the events that blend artists discussion and performance highlights that transcend the proscenium.
