SUMMARY:Exhibition / Folk Nation: Crafting Patriotism in the United States
DESCRIPTION:Mounted during the celebration of the United States semiquincentennial\, Folk Nation: Crafting Patriotism in the United States draws from the American Folk Art Museum’s rich collections to explore links between vernacular art and the construction of an American sense of self. Introducing visitors to the concept of “folk” as a category developed in conjunction with the art and antiques markets\, this exhibition positions works as multilayered in their meanings\, imbued with cultural significance by not only their creators\, but also their collectors and subsequent owners. Americans have long preserved objects as a way of telling stories about themselves. Beginning after the Revolutionary War and gathering momentum in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries\, people turned to early American things to construct a national history and sense of collective identity—an impulse often driven by lingering insecurity about the young nation’s perceived cultural provinciality compared to Europe. \nThis concentrated exhibition illuminates how makers both historical and contemporary have employed a kaleidoscopic variety of media to express love of country while also revealing the complexities and contradictions embedded in such expressions.

SUMMARY:Exhibition / Self-Made: A Century of Inventing Artists
DESCRIPTION:Self-Made: A Century of Inventing Artists takes a critical look at the historical definition of the “self-taught artist” in the United States from the early twentieth century to today. The exhibition examines how artists without academic training have depicted\, conceptualized\, and identified themselves on their own terms. In doing so\, it aims at challenging reductive\, long-standing narratives that have cast these artmakers as amateurs or isolated geniuses working out of time\, without lineage\, influence\, or artistic networks. \nThe sixty artists featured here largely worked outside conventional art-school\, gallery\, museum\, and peer-exchange systems. Their practices are rooted in diverse sites of learning\, from professional expertise to community-based traditions. Drawn primarily from the American Folk Art Museum’s collection\, this selection of artworks brings together outstanding examples of paintings\, sculptures\, photographs\, videos\, and artists’ notebooks by key national and international figures—many of them recent or rarely seen acquisitions.

SUMMARY:Syncopated Stages: Black Disruptions to the Great White Way
DESCRIPTION:Although the common nickname for Broadway\, “the Great White Way\,” refers\, historically\, to its dazzling lights\, the phrase also suggests the ways in which many histories of New York theater center white artists. Black artists\, though\, have been important shapers of musical theater in the United States before the electric light was ever used on stage. In the early 20th century\, Black composers and writers created many popular musicals in New York that helped define the genre\, setting it apart from 19th-century traditions. New forms of syncopation\, the disruption of the dominant rhythm\, and narratives composed and written by Black artists challenged the prevailing sounds and depictions of Black people on stage. These innovations were more than stylistic. They pushed back against exclusion and stereotype\, laying the groundwork for generations of Black artists whose contributions have reshaped Broadway. Syncopated Stages spotlights their work\, acknowledges the challenges they faced\, and celebrates the brilliance of what they made. We invite you to explore how Black artists transformed the New York stage and how their work still reverberates today. \nThis exhibition is organized by The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts and curated by playwright\, professor\, and scholar Michael Dinwiddie. \nPhoto credit: New York Public Library for the Performing Arts

SUMMARY:NYCB Presents: Eclectic NYCB II
DESCRIPTION:A program that illustrates the breadth of the company’s repertory opens with a Balanchine classic\, Divertimento No. 15\, a scintillating dance set to a Mozart composition that features eight leading dancers in a series of variations that illuminate classical technique with captivating clarity. It is joined by Peter Martins’ Zakouski\, a ballet for two dancers that takes its title from the Russian word for hors d’ouevres\, honoring the four composers whose music the ballet employs—from Tschaikovsky to Stravinsky. Gianna Reisen became the youngest choreographer commissioned by the company with the frolicsome Composer’s Holiday when it premiered in 2017\, while Justin Peck’s Heatscape marks another of his frequent creations with prominent collaborators\, in this case the artist Shepard Fairey.
