Art Week NYC expands beyond galleries with a museum lineup.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and the Whitney Museum of American Art are among the institutions joining the first edition of Art Week NYC, organizers announced Friday. Running November 11–14, the event will also include the Brooklyn Museum, the Frick Collection, the Studio Museum in Harlem, the Queens Museum, El Museo del Barrio, and the New York Public Library, expanding a program initially built around the city’s galleries. The New Museum will serve as the primary institutional partner, hosting “Site Conditions: Five Talks on Art and the City” on November 14. The conversations will bring together artists, architects, filmmakers, and critics to address topics including museum redesigns, artists turning to film, the cost of working in New York, and the use of artificial intelligence in studio practice. The talks coincide with the museum’s fall exhibitions, among them an Arthur Jafa survey and a new commission by Ho Tzu Nyen. Other participants include the International Center of Photography, the High Line, and the FLAG Art Foundation. More than 80 galleries, including Gagosian, Hauser & Wirth, David Zwirner, and Pace, will present exhibitions and programming across Chelsea, TriBeCa, the Lower East Side, and the Upper East Side.
Les Journées Particulières returns with 71 LVMH locations worldwide.
LVMH launched the sixth edition of Les Journées Particulières, opening 71 locations worldwide to the public over three days. Returning after a four-year break, the event began Thursday night at La Samaritaine in Paris with a ceremony honoring the 2026 class of LVMH Virtuosos, 69 artisans recognized for excellence in their craft, who each received a pin designed by Fred. Antoine Arnault, LVMH’s director of image and environment, said the group had planned to hold the event next year but moved it up at the request of its artisans. Highlights include Celine opening its ready-to-wear atelier at the Hôtel Colbert de Torcy to the public for the first time, and Louis Vuitton welcoming visitors into its leather goods prototype workshop on Rue du Louvre. At Cheval Blanc Paris, the two-Michelin-starred restaurant Hakuba is hosting short workshops on tea, futomaki, and mochi.
The Pompidou’s Brazilian satellite faces another delay.
The Centre Pompidou’s planned satellite in Foz do Iguaçu, in the Brazilian state of Paraná, has been postponed until 2029. Originally scheduled to open in November 2027 and later moved to 2028, the museum has yet to begin its construction bidding process. The delays have been attributed to the project’s complexity, including a building of more than 100,000 square feet designed by Paraguayan architect Solano Benítez, as well as a change in state leadership. Launched under the administration of Carlos Massa Ratinho Junior, the project now falls to Sergio Moro, the former federal judge who was elected governor of Paraná on October 4 and has pledged to complete it. Benítez said the Pompidou had urged him to finish his designs before the election, a process that ultimately took a year. The museum will sit near the road to Iguazu Falls in the Triple Frontier, where Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay meet at the confluence of the Iguazú and Paraná rivers. Its program will focus on South American art and the cultural dynamics of the region.

Salon 94 opens a permanent space in Paris during Art Basel Paris.
New York gallery Salon 94 is opening its first permanent space in Paris on October 18, coinciding with Art Basel Paris. Located at 30 Galerie de Montpensier, facing the Jardin du Palais Royal, the 323-square-foot gallery will be led by European director Fabienne Stephan and inaugurated with a solo exhibition by Deborah Roberts, on view through November 28. The opening follows three years of pop-up exhibitions near the Palais Royal, including solo shows for Kennedy Yanko and Marina Adams and a group exhibition last year in the same space. Founder Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn said the response from Paris collectors convinced the gallery to commit, and noted the city’s openness to showing art and design together, the focus of Salon 94 Design. The gallery chose the Palais Royal over the Marais and Avenue Montaigne for its central location near the Louvre, the Bourse de Commerce, and the Fondation Cartier.
