Brooklyn Museum First Saturdays are back!

For more than 25 years, they have hosted First Saturdays at the Brooklyn Museum. These monthly evenings of free programming welcome visitors from central Brooklyn and beyond. First Saturdays is held February–June, August, and October, 5–11 pm. 

Celebrate Black artists with roots from Bed-Stuy to Bayou Country who have shaped art, music, film, and other cultural expressions that define what it means to be American. This First Saturday also celebrates Toward Joy: New Frameworks for American Art, a transformative reinstallation of the American Art galleries. Black feminist and BIPOC perspectives act as through lines in this vast presentation that asks how American art might be experienced at this moment.

This program is free; registration is required and includes Museum general admission. Tickets will be released on a rolling basis starting January 17 for Members and January 21 for the public.

Advance registration is required. Admission is subject to our capacity at the time of your arrival.
