Toward Joy
Saturday, February 1
5–11 pm
Celebrate Black artists with roots from Bed-Stuy to Bayou Country who have shaped art, music, film, and other cultural expressions that define what it means to be American. This First Saturday also celebrates Toward Joy: New Frameworks for American Art, a transformative reinstallation of the American Art galleries. Black feminist and BIPOC perspectives act as through lines in this vast presentation that asks how American art might be experienced at this moment.
