Harlem Renaissance at the Met + UES Dinner

  • the Great Hall 1000 5th Avenue New York, NY, 10028 United States (map)

Art-full Members are invited to join us after work on Friday May 10th to dive into the world of the Harlem Renaissance with a private, guided tour at the Met, followed by food & drinks at UES local gem, Bocado.

One of this year’s most highly anticipated exhibitions, The Harlem Renaissance and Transatlantic Modernism explores the comprehensive and far-reaching ways in which Black artists portrayed everyday modern life. Through some 160 works of painting, sculpture, photography, film, and ephemera, explore the new Black cities that took shape in the 1920s–40s in New York City’s Harlem and nationwide in the early decades of the Great Migration, when millions of African Americans began to move away from the segregated rural South. The first art museum survey of the subject in New York City since 1987, the exhibition establishes the Harlem Renaissance and its radically new development of the modern Black subject as central to the development of international modern art.

Crowd favorite, Helen Lee, will provide a private, guided tour of the show, followed by optional food & drinks at Bocado for a fun, inspiring and educational Friday night out.

All tickets include museum entrance + the private, guided tour. Full experience tickets also include 1 alcoholic beverage OR 1 appetizer at dinner. All other food & drink will need to be ordered and paid separately at the restaurant.

Event is guest hosted by Art-full Ambassador, Andrea Smith.
