New Museum Announces DEMO2026 Festival and Speaker Lineup for June 2026
DEMO2026 festival tickets are now on sale for the event at the New Museum’s Expanded Building in New York. The festival runs from June 3–5 with showcases on view from June 3–10.

The Signal
The program draws on NEW INC’s network of partners including Rhizome, YoungArts, Onassis ONX and the Serpentine, signaling sustained institutional investment in interdisciplinary and technology-driven practices. For curators and collectors this positions the New Museum as a recurring platform for early-stage work at the intersection of art, design and emerging media, with public access extending a full week beyond the core festival dates.
