Join us for a tour of Edges of Ailey, the first large-scale museum exhibition to celebrate the life, dances, influences, and enduring legacy of visionary artist and choreographer Alvin Ailey.
Dive deeper into sweeping holdings of rarely seen archives, including performance footage, recorded interviews, notebooks, letters, poems, short stories, choreographic notes, drawings, and performance programs and posters gathered from Ailey’s archives and others that forge a vital throughline in the gallery.
These after-hours tours offer a fifty-minute overview of select works with the Museum’s Joan Tisch Teaching Fellows and educators. There are multiple time options on each event date. Following the tour, we invite you to enjoy a light reception alongside fellow members.
