Join the AFA for an exclusive members’ tour and final opportunity to experience the first large-scale museum exhibition celebrating the life, dances, influences, and enduring legacy of visionary artist and choreographer Alvin Ailey (b. 1931, Rogers, Texas; d. 1989, New York, New York).
This dynamic showcase—described as an “extravaganza” by curator Adrienne Edwards—features a vibrant blend of visual art, live performance, music, archival materials, and a multi-screen video installation. Drawn from recordings of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater (AAADT) repertory, the exhibition captures the full scope of Ailey’s personal and creative journey.
