What you are about to see is a labor of love that Dan Reis has been putting together over the last twelve years. He’s been coming out yearly to document the isolation, the heartbreak and the grandeur of the small communities and reservations of Montana. Dan shows us the powerful healing spirit of skateboarding amongst the dozens of skateparks being built by some of the best park builders in the world. Starting eight years ago, Dan dared Jeff Ament to write a title track for the film. With the help of his skate-centric friends, eleven tracks were created telling stories of the joy and trials and tribulations of growing up as misfits in remote Montana, truly in the middle of nowhere.

On this day in 1958, music icon Prince was born. ☔️
This guitar is shaped like Prince’s famous “Love Symbol,” a glyph he created to express artistic freedom and identity. Fusing the astrological symbols for Mars and Venus, it reflects the blending of masculine and feminine elements that became central to his image and artistry.
The instrument echoes the opening lyrics of the musician’s “I Would Die 4 U” (1984): “I’m not a woman, I’m not a man / I am something that you’ll never understand.”
📣 Now open! See "Musical Bodies," the first major exhibition to explore the relationship between musical instruments and the body by bringing together over 130 instruments, paintings, sculptures, drawings, and more.

What role can art play in healing and care?
Originally painted in the 1930s for Gouverneur Hospital’s children’s ward, Abram Champanier’s "Alice of Wonderland Visiting New York" murals are now back on public view at @MuseumofCityNY through September 20 after decades of restoration.
We're glad to support @NYCHealthSystem and @MuseumofCityNY in this effort, and in the broader work of showing how the arts can support wellbeing, foster connection, and strengthen care.
