About NEW INC
As the first museum-born cultural incubator, NEW INC was conceived of as a not-for-profit platform to further the New Museum’s ongoing commitment to new art and new ideas. Now in its eleventh year, NEW INC’s membership model continues to support a diverse range of creative practitioners with a values-driven program and safe space for gathering and developing new creative projects and businesses. In 2020, NEW INC launched ONX Studio, an XR accelerator for artists, in partnership with the Onassis Foundation. NEW INC was cofounded by the New Museum’s Toby Devan Lewis Director Lisa Phillips and former Deputy Director Karen Wong in 2014.
