June
Summer goals: celebrating community and giving you reasons to get together in the galleries.
In case you haven’t heard, the Brooklyn Museum recently opened a “sartorial extravaganza” (Artnet): Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses. Taking inspiration from new technologies and the natural world, Iris van Herpen’s extraordinary haute couture creations explore our profound interconnectedness.
We’re also kicking off Drawing America: US@250—a season of art and programs honoring those who imagine a more equitable future and fight for the promise of our democracy. It all starts with a special edition of First Saturdays. Keep scrolling and reserve your spot for free.
