This month we launched The Marilyn Monroe Mental Health for the Arts Program with @mountsinai in honor of Marilyn’s 100th birthday — reframing her legacy through compassion, resilience, and mental health advocacy.

64 years after #HappyBirthdayMrPresident, Marilyn’s New York opened at @grandcentralnyc alongside Shepard Fairey releases via @obeygiant, charity initiatives with @Goldin and @eBay, and new archival collectibles supporting the cause.

Including: a Narrateller stereoscope featuring unpublished 3D photography of Marilyn by Milton H. Greene.

Celebrating not just the icon — but the humanity behind her legacy.
