AGO First Thursdays

On February 5, two days before the opening day of the monumental exhibition Jean-Michel Basquiat: Now’s the Time, the AGO will throw a party for the ages to celebrate the legacy of the artist who took the New York City art world by storm in the early 1980s. Basquiat gained international recognition by creating powerful and expressive works that confronted issues of racism, identity and social tension, and the February First Thursday is your first chance to see the exhibition.

The event is headlined by the legendary Grandmaster Flash, one of the founding fathers of hip hop and the first DJ and hip-hop artist (alongside the Furious Five) to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Grandmaster Flash will spin in Walker Court beginning at 10 pm. (Please note: Walker Court capacity is limited.)

Enter to win a pair of tickets to AGO First Thursdays on February 5th headlined by the legendary Grandmaster Flash!
