The Guggenheim New York kicks off its fall season with a vibrant lineup of public programs inviting audiences of all ages to experience the museum in unexpected ways. From weekly performances and readings in the Rotunda to a teen-focused workshop and a programming partnership with the Center for Black Visual Culture (CBVC) at New York University (NYU), the museum continues to serve as a hub for interdisciplinary engagement across visual art, poetry, and music.  
October’s public programming features an array of poetic activations, including a special evening of readings by the Academy of American Poets’ Chancellors and weekly Museum Dream Walks led by Guggenheim Poet-in-Residence Traci Brimhall—inviting visitors on a reflective journey through art and language. In response to the landmark exhibition Rashid Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers , performance programming in the Rotunda will be curated by CBVC with pianist and composer Kwami Coleman; and Grammy Award– and Tony Award–nominated actor, singer, and director Michael McElroy; and will feature Emmy Award– and Screen Actors Guild Award–nominated actor, musician, and writer Tituss Burgess; performances by students at the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music; multidisciplinary artist José Parlá; and the Candice Hoyes Quartet.  
In celebration of the building’s 65th anniversary and Archtober—a citywide festival of architecture and design organized by the Center for Architecture—the Guggenheim will offer guided museum architecture tours where visitors can get an inside look at the iconic building. The museum will also host the official launch of architect Tom Kundig’s new book. Moderated by Sam Cochran of Architectural Digest, their conversation will focus on Kundig’s renowned houses around the globe, as well as his evolving approach to design.
