Season Launch Party: Summer Solstice Edition
Thursday, June 20, 7 to 10 PM
pay-what-you-can at the door!   

All three floors will be open for you to explore. Get creative in our studio with a hands-on project, enjoy musical sets by DJ Deem J and special guests Juice Joint, sip on a refreshment, take in the view from our terrace, and connect with hundreds of our closest friends, including artists and program contributors. 

Our summer highlight is Christina Battle: Under Metallic Skies, which sets video and multimedia installations made in the last decade in dialogue with ongoing video series, new textile-centered artworks, and web-based, participatory projects. Battle encourages critical thinking, solidarity, and action on the issue of our time: the destruction of the environment and the natural world. With a mix of deep research and social activism, Battle’s work is relevant, urgent, and pushes the boundaries of contemporary art and the role of the artist. A new book designed by Lauren Wickware with texts by Cassandra Getty (ML Curator of Art), Geneviève Wallen, and Scott Miller Berry accompanies the exhibition and will be released at the event!
