22:48 IDEAS CITY Festival will take Over Downtown Manhattan | |
New York, NY…The New Museum and the Executive Committee of IDEAS
CITY announced that the second IDEAS CITY Festival will take place in downtown
Manhattan from May 1–4, 2013. IDEAS CITY was founded in 2011 by the New Museum,
New York, as an unprecedented collaborative initiative that involves hundreds
of arts, education, and community organizations in an ongoing, multi-platform
discussion on the future of cities around the globe. Guided by the belief that
arts and culture are essential to the continued health and vitality of urban
centers everywhere, IDEAS CITY partners work together to exchange ideas,
propose solutions, share with the public, and effect change. IDEAS CITY is a biennial Festival in New York City with additional annual Global Conferences organized in key urban centers around the world. IDEAS CITY: Istanbul took place in the fall of 2012 and IDEAS CITY: São Paulo will be held in fall 2013. These global events help to identify urgent issues and invite an ever-growing number of international thought leaders to participate in the initiative. This year, the overarching theme is Untapped Capital—under-recognized and underutilized resources and surpluses that can be harnessed as catalysts for change. The IDEAS CITY Festival in New York begins on Wednesday May 1 with a Keynote address by Joi Ito, Director of MIT Media Lab, followed by a daylong Conference
on Thursday May 2, with mayors and visionary. Members of the Executive Committee for IDEAS CITY are the New Museum (founder); the Architectural League of New York; Bowery Poetry Club; Cooper Union; the Drawing Center; New York University Wagner School; and Storefront for Art and Architecture. Founding support for IDEAS CITY: New York is provided by a generous grant from Goldman Sachs Gives made at the recommendation of David B. Heller & Hermine Riegerl Heller. The Lead Sponsor of IDEAS CITY is Audi Urban Future Initiative, and the Lead Supporter is the Rockefeller Foundation. Connect on Twitter: @IDEASCITY #IDEASCITY  | |
