A couple weeks back the British Council hosted the Greening the Arts program in New York City. Leaders in the theater, music, and art worlds were all in attendance. And while there were big events and high-profile talks, I was invited to attend one of the less publicized events: a meeting between Ben Todd, the executive director of the world’s first carbon neutral theater, the Arcola in London, and Steve Warnick and Vallejo Gantner, the executive director and artistic director respectively, of New York City’s renowned Performance Space 122.

PS 122 is slated to undergo a $21 million renovation project, and the meeting was arranged to help the landmark theater take a cue or two from the Arcola—and go green as possible in its new form. In doing so, it could set an example for greening theaters worldwide.

The New York Museum of Modern Art has a rich and sentimental history dating

back to 1929, when Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., along with two other influential arts patrons— Miss Lillie P. Bliss and Mrs. Cornelius J. Sullivan—found the conservative museums and collections to be lacking. They wanted to offer something more to the community of New York art museums, something inclusive of modern art (which includes any work from the late 19th century to the present), and together founded The Museum of Modern Art New York, a tradition-breaking institution among New York art museums.
From its humble beginnings as recipient of eight prints and one drawing, The New York Museum of Modern Art has grown to include over 150,000 paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photographs, architectural models and drawings, and design objects.
