The summer slump hasn’t started yet! While the warm weather may have you thinking that summer has begun, and therefore the art world has gone into hibernation, there is still plenty to do in the city before the summer truly begins. Here are our suggestions for what to do this week in the art world:
June 1st
MoMA Party in the Garden 2016

The party will include cocktails and dinner and feature a special performance by singer/songwriter, Robyn. If you can’t swing the price for the party, don’t forget to stop by the after party, which will start at 9pm in the Modern Restaurant.
