Editing MoMA PS1 (section)

===Affiliation with the Museum of Modern Art===
In February 1999, P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center and the Museum of Modern Art announced their impending institutional merger, which was planned to take 10 years and was designed to preserve P.S. 1 as a center of independent experimentation and exploration. MoMA PS1 and the [[Museum of Modern Art]] formalized their affiliation in January 2000.<ref name="MoMA PS1"/> New York City, which owns the MoMA PS1 building, endorsed the merger.<ref name="Carol Vogel 1999"/> 

The principal objective of MoMA's partnership with MoMA PS1 is to promote the enjoyment, appreciation, study, and understanding of contemporary art to a wide and growing audience. Collaborative programs of exhibitions, educational activities, and special projects allow both institutions to draw on their respective strengths and resources and to continue shaping a cultural discourse. The two institutions also integrated their development, education, marketing, financial planning and membership departments.<ref name="Carol Vogel 1999"/> 

To mark the 10th anniversary of the merger between the former P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center and MoMA, the museum changed its name to '''MoMA PS1''' in 2010.<ref>Carol Vogel (April 29, 2010), [https://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/30/arts/design/30vogel.html Tweaking a Name in Long Island City] ''[[The New York Times]]''.</ref>
