The Stuart Regen Visionaries Fund at the New Museum was created to support a new series of public lectures and presentations by cultural visionaries. The Visionaries Series at the New Museum will spotlight leading international thinkers in the fields of art, architecture, design, and related disciplines of contemporary culture, to promote the innovations shaping intellectual life and defining the future now. Since legendary choreographer Bill T. Jones inaugurated this signature program in spring 2009, the yearly series has featured Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia (2010), and Alice Waters, chef, author, and proprietor of Berkeley bistro Chez Panisse (2011).
