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. Speakers include Xin Liu, Dr. Sarah Lewis, Germane Barnes, Felix Burrichter and Tao Leigh Goffe. Leadership support comes from the Ford Foundation, David B. Heller, the Jonathan D + Mark C. Lewis Foundation and the Mellon Foundation, with major support from EY Intelligent Realities Lab, the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation and the Simons Foundation.
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.
