(NEW YORK, NY, May 25, 2017)—From June 20 through August 29, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum will extend its hours to 9 pm on Tuesdays. In addition to having increased access to exhibitions, visitors are invited to attend a weekly conversation series called the Summer of Know, as well as films, discussions, performances, and other programs. Refreshments and specialty cocktails will be available for purchase on the Rotunda Floor and in Cafe 3. Summer exhibitions include Visionaries: Creating a Modern Guggenheim (through September 6); Doug Wheeler: PSAD Synthetic Desert III (through August 2); The Hugo Boss Prize 2016: Anicka Yi, Life Is Cheap (through July 5); Maurizio Cattelan: “America” (ongoing); and Mystical Symbolism: The Salon de la Rose+Croix in Paris, 1892–1897 (opening June 30). The Guggenheim Store will remain open until 9:30 pm on these evenings.

Summer of Know is a weekly conversation series that pairs contemporary artists who think deeply about urgent social, political, environmental, or legal challenges facing our world today, with individuals who tackle those issues from outside of the cultural sphere. Moderated or introduced by Guggenheim curators, these informal discussions engage with current issues as they are filtered through the generative lens of art. Conversations take place in Cafe 3, starting at 6:30 pm on Tuesdays beginning June 20. For the most up-to-date schedule, visit guggenheim.org/summer.

In August a selection of films, including shorts, animated productions, and feature-length presentations, will be screened every Tuesday at 6 pm in the New Media Theater. Screenings take place in the New Media Theater, Lower Level, and are free with admission. Full information on films and summer Tuesday programs will be available at guggenheim.org/summer.

ABOUT THE SOLOMON R. GUGGENHEIM FOUNDATION
Founded in 1937, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation is dedicated to promoting the understanding and appreciation of art, primarily of the modern and contemporary periods, through exhibitions, education programs, research initiatives, and publications. The Guggenheim network that began in the 1970s when the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, was joined by the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice, has since expanded to include the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao (opened 1997), and the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi (currently in development). The Guggenheim Foundation continues to forge international collaborations that celebrate contemporary art, architecture, and design within and beyond the walls of the museum, including the Guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative and The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Chinese Art Initiative. More information about the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation can be found at guggenheim.org.
