May 7, 2012, 8:00-9:030pm, New York, NY The Public Theater, New York Magazine and the Aspen Institute Arts Program present a Public Forum event: The Culture Capital: Is New York City Still A Home For Artists? On May 7, the Public Forum will consider how the creative life of New York City has changed. Does the city continue to attract strange collections of artists that way?

April 2012
NY_Ideas New York Ideas 2012
April 17, 2012, 9:00am-6:00pm, New York, NY Slated for April 17, 2012 at the renovated New-York Historical Society, this event will feature leading thinkers and policy makers exploring essential election-year questions which focus on the American identity: Who are we as a nation and where will we be in another generation? What will the world look like if America is no longer a superpower? Are there such things as common American values anymore? We’ll be joined by thought-leaders who will engage these defining questions with candor and intellectual rigor in discussions led by The Atlantic’s top editorial talent. In the months leading up to a fiercely contested election season, at a moment when so much about America’s future seems to be hanging in the balance, there is nowhere else to be this April in the Big Apple if not at New York Ideas.
