Guangdong Times Museum is funded by Times Property in 2003. During the D-Lab project of 2nd Guangzhou Triennial in 2005, Rem Koolhaas and Alain Fouraux were invited to design a conceptualized permanent building for the Museum, which was completed in September 2010. Guangdong Times Museum is dedicated to the research and presentation of contemporary art and related cultural ideas as well as the promotion of local, public and interdisciplinary artistic practices and cultural production. Through a series of exhibitions, projects and public cultural events, Guangdong Times Museum proactively explores the diverse and multi-dimensional relations between artistic practices, cultural production, the public, and urban public sphere.

Times Square Arts, the public arts program of the Times Square Alliance, collaborates with contemporary artists and cultural institutions to experiment and engage with one of the world’s most iconic urban places. Through the Square’s electronic billboards, public plazas, vacant areas and popular venues, and the Alliance’s own online landscape, Times Square Arts invites leading contemporary creators to help the public see Times Square in new ways.  Times Square has always been a place of risk, innovation and creativity, and the Arts Program ensures these qualities remain central to the district’s unique identity. Generous support of Times Square Arts is provided by ArtPlace America and ArtWorks. Visit www.TimesSquareNYC.org/Arts. Follow us on Twitter @TSqArts and Instagram@TSqArts.
