Spring 2023 Arts Guide

The arts come alive every spring in New York City—at museums, on stages, in gardens and, in one case, across a rooftop overlooking Central Park. That last one is the annual commission for the Met’s outdoor space, this year courtesy of Los Angeles artist Lauren Halsey; other highlights include a dance festival celebrating the African diaspora, an exhibition focused on paper as fashion material and an exploration of contemporary themes on the grounds of the New York Botanical Garden.
