“See the Noguchi Museum! I’ve never been before.” — Caitlin Mociun

“Visit more awesome DIY venues and art spaces around the country, and hang out with more of my friends that run their own spaces here. Hang out with my friends more often in general. There’s no cultural substitute for that.” — Joe Ahearn

“Continue to cultivate lasting working relationships, turn a blind eye to detractors and make a difference while making MONEY.” — Mykki Blanco

“I watched a bunch of dance documentaries this year, and each one reminded me to try to see more ballet/tango/street battles, both because I love most any form of dance and because many of the documentaries describe the challenges facing the dance community. There’s a rare sense in which to watch a great dancer is to bear witness to the impossible sacrifice bound up in the beauty. They’re like extremely flexible unicorns walking among us.” — Michelle Orange

“We plan to visit and continue to support essential and irreplaceable New York institutions like Anthology Film Archives, the Poetry Project, Maysles Cinema, to name a few. We also want to watch more movies in the theater which has been tricky with a 16-month-old at home.” — Paul Lovelace and Jessica Wolfson

“Last year it was write more letters and send them by post, which I’m happy to say I did, and which resulted in myriad engaging correspondences with some of the most fascinating figures of our time. I’d like to introduce more of the artists that I work with to each other. For instance, everyone should know Japanther. I saw more theater this year, which has been terrific. It’s my de facto choice when I think I might be sort of in the mood to watch television. Maybe see more dance? New York is so good for the lively arts. I aim to diversify. You can’t complain that there’s nothing good in the mainstream if you don’t seek out the gems and support them yourself.” — Lauren Cerand

“To hopefully visit Roseto Di Roma.” — Angel Haze

“I plan on finally buying a vintage Porche 911 and getting the license plate: NVR FGT. Then taking the car around and exploring some of NY’s most interesting locations that you forget are there, i.e.: Fort Tryon Park, The Dirt Room in Soho, the best mac ‘n cheese at Queens Kickshaw, Mount Vernon Hotel Museum on East 61st, etc.” — Seth Herzog

“Well, one thing that I need to do is go to some contemporary art shows. I’m in the middle of writing my next book and one of the central characters is an artist, so I hope to get some sense of what’s going on out there. I read articles and things, but it can’t all be sharks in formaldehyde, can it? So that’ll be for work. But also, like one of the characters in my novel, my secret ambition is to finally learn to appreciate classical music. And with the baby on the way, my wife and I are planning to go to BAM and the Met as often as possible so maybe the baby will pick some things up in utero. Because I’m going to be no help in that department. I have no sense of rhythm whatsoever. I literally cannot clap to the beat. I’m like that drummer kid in Mr. Holland’s Opus. So hopefully we can do a preemptive strike for the sake of the next generation.” — Kristopher Jansma

“Finish writing a gigantic pop record with my co-composer Dan Romer.” — Benh Zeitlin
