The University of Michigan Museum of Art invites you to join us for an evening of art, music, and exploration. Drop in during this free community event to discover the permanent collections galleries and new special exhibitions including a remarkable collection of photographic portraits of artists by artists such as Ansel Adams, Arnold Newman, and Manuel Álvarez Bravo; a playful installation by Japanese art collaborative Paramodel; a visually striking and thought-provoking film by Amie Siegal that traces in reverse the global trade in modernist furniture; and the last in a series of three consecutive exhibitions featuring Michigan architects. Enjoy live music by Dave Sharp’s Secret 7, who masterfully blends rhythms, sounds, and textures of jazz and world music from around the globe. This performance of “World Jazz” music will feature Dan Bennet and Tim Haldeman on saxophones, Dave Sharp on upright and electric bass, Igor Houwat on oud, Elden Kelly on guitar, cümbü?, and Glissentar, and Alina Mor on keyboards. Curators’ conversations and light refreshments round out the event.
