The public is invited to an array of free programs, including a new series of virtual talks with four artists whose works are on view in Indigenous Identities: Here, Now & Always, the unprecedented survey of contemporary Native American art. Such favorites as SparkNight, Último Domingo and Art Together also continue through the spring.
It is with deep sadness and profound respect that the Zimmerli acknowledges the passing of Jaune Quick-to-See Smith (b. 1940, citizen of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation), a visionary artist, educator, and activist whose life’s work transcended boundaries and bridged cultures. Her extraordinary contributions to contemporary art and her tireless advocacy for Indigenous voices have left an indelible mark on the art world and beyond.
McCarthy joins the Zimmerli on January 6, 2025. He will serve on the museum’s senior leadership team and participate in shaping its mission and vision, as well as oversee the museum’s curatorial department and assume responsibility for its scholarly and artistic program while managing the development of the permanent collection and exhibitions.
The Zimmerli has been awarded the first installment of a three-year General Program Support grant from the NJSCA. These funds are vital to advancing the museum’s mission by supporting exhibitions and public programming that reach a broad spectrum of audiences, creating an accessible space that is welcoming to all.
This is the museum’s and university's first grant from the Nissan Foundation, which will help fund a series of free, public programs for all ages in conjunction with the groundbreaking exhibition Indigenous Identities: Here, Now & Always, on view at the Zimmerli from Feb. 1 through Dec. 21, 2025.
The Zimmerli joins hundreds of cultural institutions around the globe on Bloomberg Connects, which offers unique content to enrich visitor engagement. The app invites the public to easily access the Zimmerli's content when planning a trip to the museum, while in the galleries or delving deeper after a visit. Easy links to visitor information, upcoming events, the gallery map, social media accounts, and membership options—as well as multilingual capabilities with the integration of Google Translate—enhance the visitor experience.
