Opening Reception: Crescendo

Come take a first look at AAI’s new Spring exhibition and enjoy special cocktails and light refreshments at the opening reception of Crescendo: How Art Makes Movements (1981-1999)! This exhibition is a historical survey of multidisciplinary art projects created between 1981 and 1999, intersecting with Asian American social movements. Largely inspired by Jazz and improvised music that were central to the Black Arts Movement, the artists featured in the exhibition used music as a vehicle to build solidarity beyond races and ethnicities.

Following the reception, do not miss a special concert featuring Salim Washington, a jazz legend and multi-instrumentalists, along with local Philadelphia musicians. The reception is free and open to public. The concert is pay-what-you-wish and requires registration.
