A special Pride-themed First Saturday and Art History Happy Hour, and a full season dedicated to Drawing America. 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.
