Since 2011, VWoA has been a major partner for MoMA and MoMA PS1 by supporting a wide range of exhibitions, educational opportunities, and special event programming. The new initiatives and furtherance of the partnership will continue to build on that success with a new focus on supporting MoMA Education in order to reach a worldwide audience of those who want to learn. In the last nine years since MoMA launched its curriculum website in 2006, the world has profound shift towards digital learning, which has allowed MoMA to produce a ton of content. The partnership has allowed MoMA to produce and aggregate all this content while also allowing for expansion of such opportunities such lead sponsorship for future exhibitions, creating a new strand of MoMA PS1 VW Fellows, and the development of the Volkswagen Global Conversation Series. Glenn D. Lowry, MoMA Director, had this to say about the partnership:

It is a pleasure to work with an organization that shares our commitment to bringing world-class modern and contemporary art to a diverse, global audience. We look forward to continued partnership and to connecting visitors and our community abroad with today’s most significant artists and innovators through conversation, exhibitions, educational programming.
