‘A Night Out with Friends’ was held in Spring 2022 to celebrate the newly renamed Black Arts Council of The Museum of Modern Art (formerly the Friends of Education). The council was established in 1993 to ‘foster a greater appreciation for art and artists of the African diaspora by prioritizing and supporting Black perspectives’ in the museum’s programming. The event honored artist Titus Kaphar and art patron Elliot Perry. Our rainbowy identity for the gala was inspired by Kaphar’s painting ‘From a Tropical Space’ (2019), which MoMA had recently acquired.
