With Shouts, you can let your connections know about something (e.g. an
event, a restaurant) FAST! When you don't feel like writing a full
review but still want to draw attention to something on our site, shouts are a
great option. When you send a Shout, anyone who has made you a
connection will see what you have to say about it in their 'Connections' window.
Some examples of shouts are: "This play closes tonight - don't miss it!" or
"Ate here last night. Check it out before it gets discovered!"
You can TAG any business or event you find on NYC.com. A tag is like a
personal keyword or category label. So with tags, you can label what
interests you on NYC.com with words that make sense to you. Your tags
can
then be used to help you share, store and organize this information.
For
example, you could tag a Japanese restaurant you like with "great
sushi,"
"delicious," "expensive," "downtown." In the future, if you're in the
mood
for great sushi, you can easily find any restaurant fast that you
tagged
"great sushi." Or if you're looking for a restaurant downtown, just
search
with "downtown." What's more, you can also see all the records everyone
else has tagged "great sushi" or "downtown" at NYC.com.
This is different than a normal search, because it shows you what the
users
at NYC.com are thinking about and reviewing. TAGS are a great resource
for
finding out what's going on, what's hot, what people are talking about.
Some
rise and others fall in importance, depending on how the tag is being
used.
So why use TAGS?
1. Tags keep found things found. Tags make it easy for you to find
businesses or events again, using the terms you use to describe them.
If
you can't remember the name of that great French bistro you went to
four
months ago, just click on your FRENCH tag, and there it is!
2. Tags let you find things using other users' language. We
might
tag a restaurant as FRENCH, but someone else might tag it as PARIS
CHEF.
And you can see the most popular tags on NYC.com by visiting
http://www.nyc.com/tags/ - the size of each link shows how many records
are tagged with that word or phrase. The bigger the word, the bigger
and
more powerful the tag!
3. Tags let you visualize your NYC and see how others see it.

EDITORIAL REVIEW
The Drawing Center has been a unique and dynamic part of New York City's cultural life since 1977. The only not-for-profit institution in the country to focus on the exhibition of drawings, it was established to demonstrate the significance and diversity of drawings throughout history, to juxtapose work by master figures with work by emerging and under-recognized artists, and to stimulate public dialogue on issues of art and culture.
Called "one of the city's most highly respected small art museums" by The New York Times, The Drawing Center has become the country's preeminent venue for important contemporary and historical drawing exhibitions, attracting more than 55,000 visitors annually from the local area, across the country, and around the world. The Drawing Center has presented more than 230 exhibitions, published over 70 catalogs, and toured its exhibitions to prestigious museums around the world, including: Tate Britain, London, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, Australia (The Stage of Drawing); the Museum of Contemporary Art, Barcelona, Spain (The Prinzhorn Collection); and the Santa Monica Museum of Art (3 x Abstraction).
The Drawing Center's acclaimed exhibitions encompass a wide range of drawing traditions, such as Shaker Gift Drawings, Rajasthani Miniatures, Plains Indians Ledger Drawings, and Norval Morrisseau/Copper Thunderbird. Through a uniquely interdisciplinary approach, The Drawing Center's exhibitions have also related drawing to science (Ocean Flowers: Impressions from Nature), architecture (Constant, Inigo Jones, Louis Kahn), literature (Victor Hugo, Henri Michaux), theater (Picasso's Parade, Theater on Paper), film (Sergei Eisenstein), music (Musical Manuscripts), and choreography (Trisha Brown).
Historical Exhibitions focus on both acknowledged and under-recognized masters (such as Michelangelo, J.M.W. Turner, James Ensor, Marcel Duchamp, and Hilma af Klint) while Contemporary Exhibitions illuminate unexplored aspects of works by major living artists (such as Richard Serra, Louise Bourgeois, Ellsworth Kelly, Anna Maria Maiolino, Ellen Gallagher, and Richard Tuttle), and Selections Exhibitions present innovative work of emerging artists who are contributing to new interpretations of drawing. In the Drawing Room, which was opened across the street from the main gallery in 1997, emerging and under-recognized artists are encouraged to create experimental, cross-disciplinary work and site-specific installations.
Examples of artists whose work was first introduced to a wide public at The Drawing Center are: Terry Winters, Glenn Ligon, Janine Antoni, William Kentridge, Kara Walker, Shahzia Sikander, Margaret Kilgallen, and Julie Mehretu. The Drawing Center's Viewing Program has encouraged the development of thousands of emerging artists through one-on-one portfolio reviews with a curator, and through its curated public Artist Registry of over 2,500 emerging artists.
The Edward Hallam Tuck Publication Program provides new scholarship and critical context on contemporary and historical drawings through its scholarly catalogs for major exhibitions and its inventive Drawing Papers publication series, which accompanies each exhibition. A lively array of Public Programs — including gallery talks, panel discussions, and literary programs — engage audiences more deeply with the work on display. The Drawing Center's Michael Iovenko School Programs, offered free of charge, has served 75,000 local public school students through drawing activities and discussions inspired by the approaches of the exhibiting artists. In addition, the Internship Program has introduced hundreds of college students to the workings of a small and active museum.
