Site Credits

Launched on September 10, 2007, NYFA's new web site is the culmination of nearly a year's worth of staff planning, design and technological upgrades. Construction and development of the site was overseen by Matthew Deleget, Managing Officer, Information & Research.

NYFA's new site would not have been possible without the generous financial support of the Joan Mitchell Foundation. Thank you!

NYFA would also like to thank our long-term partners and co-developers Level Design Studio, which designed the site's user interface, and the Center for Arts Management & Technology at Carnegie Mellon University, which built and provides hosting for the site.
