Now entering its third year, the New Museum’s incubator NEW INC has announced its incoming class of new and returning members. This incubator program brings together a cross-disciplinary community of artists, designers, filmmakers, curators, computer scientists, data scientists, and entrepreneurs working at the intersection of art, design, and technology to experiment with new models and modes of cultural production. While this new class continues to produce creative work and products inspired by, responding to, or leveraging the tools of emerging technologies like 3-D printing, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence — among other fields — they are distinguished by doing so with a greater focus on social impact.
NEW INC has also introduced a new residency program designed to bring additional expertise to the community and engender a culture of peer-to-peer mentorship. Residents are seasoned artists, entrepreneurs, and researchers who are embedded within the NEW INC cohort. While they develop ventures of their own, they will also serve as in-house mentors and community catalysts, hosting office hours, organizing programs, and contributing content to NEW INC’s digital channels.
NEW INC, the first museum-led incubator, was conceived by the New Museum in 2013 and launched in September 2014. NEW INC’s aim is to support innovation, collaboration, and entrepreneurship by offering a 12-month professional development program, mentorship, shared resources, and an 8,000 square foot shared workspace on the Bowery, as located next door to the New Museum.
