In addition to cultural events on the Event Calendar, I invite you to explore the many ongoing and permanent exhibits that are offered through cultural institutions and beyond. Here are lots of ideas for you to browse and maintain your connection to the cultural life of New York City and beyond. You can also use these to write a reflection paper for your cultural event requirement, if you think you have enough material to write a reflection paper.
