Get a first look and celebrate the opening of Just a Dream…, Vincent Valdez’s first major museum survey, co-organized with Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (CAMH). The exhibition spans twenty years of the artist’s works across all media, addressing American politics today. Including previously unexhibited and new bodies of work, Just a Dream… is a unique opportunity to see the breadth of Valdez’s practice. The artist often works in series, with this exhibition marking the first time these chapters are in dialogue. Learn more about the exhibition here.

Celebrate alongside exhibitions Ohan Breiding: Belly of a Glacier, co-curated with Williams College Museum of Art, Dirty & Disorderly: Contemporary Artists on Disgust, in Building 4.3 and
Randi Malkin Steinberger: The Archive of Lost Memories in Building 8.

We encourage our members and guests to also purchase tickets to Saul Williams in the Hunter Center at 8:30pm. The groundbreaking rapper, singer, songwriter, musician, poet, writer, and actor, who burst into the public consciousness as Nuyorican Poets Café‘s Grand Slam Champion in 1996 and then the star of the 1998 independent hit Slam, has since toured the world with his band, opened for Nine Inch Nails, and had records produced by Rick Rubin and Trent Reznor.
