Free for Four Arts Contemporaries
Tickets for this program will be available in January 2027.
Please contact customer service at (561) 655-7226 for reservations.
The Contemporaries’ mission is to education, enlighten, and inspire with thought-provoking discussions from the fields of science, culture, media, and the arts. Programming is geared toward younger supporters aged 21 to 49.
Each program includes a cocktail reception.
Ebony G. Patterson’s work stops you in your tracks. Her tapestries, photographs, and installations are maximal, mesmerizing, and deliberately overwhelming — pulling you in with their dazzling beauty before confronting you with something far more uncomfortable: the question of who gets to be seen, and who doesn’t. A MacArthur Genius Grant Fellow whose work has shown at the Whitney, the Brooklyn Museum, the Venice Biennale, and beyond, Patterson is one of the most exciting and provocative artists working today. She’ll be in conversation with José Carlos Diaz, Chief Curator at Pérez Art Museum Miami, for a frank discussion about art, power, race, beauty, and why a garden is never just a garden.
