🎊 #ArtIsAWeapon Remembering and honoring the trailblazing #AlvinAiley, who was born on this day - January 5 - in 1931. Y'ALL, GO SEE "Edges of Ailey ... the first large-scale museum exhibition to celebrate the life, dances, influences, and enduring legacy of [the] visionary artist and choreographer," on view through February 9, 2025 at the @whitneymuseum! Admission is free on Fridays from 5PM-10PM, every second Sunday of the month, and everyday for people aged 25 and under.
"This dynamic showcase—described as an 'extravaganza' by curator Adrienne Edwards—brings together visual art, live performance, music, a range of archival materials, and a multi-screen video installation drawn from recordings of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater (AAADT) repertory to explore the full range of Ailey’s personal and creative life."

If you can take these steps and show us yourself through it, that will be an extraordinary experience for the audience. The dance is for everybody. I believe that the dance came from the people and that it should always be delivered back to the people."—Alvin Ailey
Today we celebrate the visionary artist and choreographer who was born on this day in 1931.
There are just a few weeks left to experience Edges of Ailey at the Whitney. The exhibition that brings together visual art, live performance, music, and a range of archival materials is on view only through February 9.
