Ever since Alice Tully Hall unceremoniously turned off the one plug in the seating area of their lobby<\/a>, I’ve been auditioning new mobile office locations in midtown. Today, I’m here at the MoMA Cafe<\/a>, and have located an outlet and a seat by the window facing…I think this is 54th street, but I’m bad with directions. Free wireless, check. Clean countertop, check. Annoying children behind me, fine; unavoidable. $5.92 cappuccino – ack, check double minus. <\/p>\n

Every time I see ads for classes at MoMA<\/a>, I comb through my schedule in hopes that I can find 5-week period during which I wouldn’t have to miss two or more night classes for work stuff. I was an art history minor at school, and my favorite part of interning at The Whitney was getting to walk through the museum on the days it was closed with the curators. This summer, I was especially disapointed to miss the MoMA class on New York City architecture. ((shakes fist at the sky\/job))<\/p>\n

Course guidelines and frequently asked questions<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

One of these terms I’ll just sign up; concerts be damned. But I figure, if I miss\/like school, other people must miss\/like school, so why don’t arts presenters offer music history classes that coincide with their season programming? I work in the industry, and if Alan Gilbert were teaching a class on Schoenberg at Lincoln Center in September, I would pay to take it. Concert tickets could be part of the cost for the course. I’ve previously wondered<\/a> why presenters don’t offer music classes (Alvin Ailey offers dance classes for children and adults)  but adult\/continuing ed classes would serve the same purpose: get people in your building, make them feel like they’re a part of your organization. <\/p>\n
