Saturday, August 1, 5–10 pm
Soak up the summer sun while enjoying music, talks, art-making, and poetry by artists from across the Caribbean diaspora.
The August edition of First Saturdays is part of Drawing America: US@250. A season of art installations, programs, and partnerships, Drawing America honors those who have imagined a more equitable future and fought for the promise of our democracy—and those who continue to do so today.
Pro tip: Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses will be open late! Reserve tickets today to experience the visionary designer’s works after hours.
Always free—you’ve just got to register.
