Overview
MCA x Blanc: A Dorian Sylvain Family Affair
Free Walk Up tickets will be available at Blanc Gallery between at 1 pm - 8:30 pm CT tomorrow, August 26th.
In conjunction with the exhibition Gary Simmons: Public Enemy (June 13–October 1, 2023) is a special collaborative event between Blanc Gallery and the MCA. Closing out the summer, it features conversations, performances, and dancing from an intergenerational group of Black creatives who have been instrumental in building the artistic landscape of Chicago from the 1970s to the present.
This event takes place at Blanc Gallery. Sited in the historically vital Black neighborhood of Bronzeville—whose former denizens include Ida B. Wells, Louis Armstrong, and Sam Cooke—it is the ideal home for this collaboration between the MCA, Blanc Gallery, and visionary Chicago artists to amplify the voices, sounds, and stories of an intergenerational group of Chicago-based Black creatives.
