Presented by the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School.
The Vera List Center is introducing tiered ticketing. VLC programs are always free and open to all; however, they are not free to produce. Tiered ticketing allows us to more transparently acknowledge the real costs behind our work—honoring artists and art workers, supporting the administrative, technical, and care labor involved in every event, and sustaining the conditions that make these programs possible.
This tiered ticketing system allows those who can afford to sustain our work to do so, while ensuring that cost is never a barrier to participation. Your support helps us uphold our commitment to artists, audiences, and a more equitable cultural ecosystem.
Committed to amplifying diverse voices, The New School offers more than a thousand public programs and events each year, providing fresh perspectives and unique learning opportunities. These lectures, exhibitions, concerts, and performances feature prominent and emerging artists, activists, and thought leaders. Be sure to visit our Events Calendar to see the full roster.
