Participants can take a curator-led tour of the exhibition with Jessica Beck, The Warhol’s associate curator of art. Drawing materials are provided, and a cash bar is available with signature cocktails crafted by Butterjoint’s Amanda Schaffner.

Firelei Báez: Bloodlines

February 17 – May 21, 2017

In this bust portrait of a woman with dark skin she sits in profile with her head turned 45 degrees to look directly at the viewer. She has dark brown eyes and wears an elaborate headdress that fills the top half of the vertical portrait. The headdress is a variety of whites, beiges, browns, and a bit of blue where the fabric folds creating shadows. It includes a variety of decorative patterns, and one of the patterns includes black panthers.
