Our special exhibition Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys closes in one month and we want to go out in a BIG way. Join us on Friday, August 7 for an evening of music, art, and community! The night is headlined by Joe Kay, the globally recognized and visionary founder of Soulection, and features a lineup curated by cultural tastemaker and DJ, Sasha Marie. The evening will kick off with a lowrider showcase by Mr. Bizar at the front of the museum, where guests will be able to explore the cars during the entire event.
