Admission to the museum is free. This exhibition will be on display from February 19 until April 19, 2026. If you cannot attend the opening, please stop in and see the show at your convenience. Call ahead for hours. This exhibition is a comprehensive exploration of the symbiotic relationship between the world of fashion and fine art. Featuring more than 140 objects, including garments, accessories, textiles, photographs, and original artworks drawn from MFIT's permanent collection, *Art X Fashion* challenges the traditional hierarchies of visual culture, presenting fashion and art each as parallel, potent expressions of social, intellectual, and creative forces. Curated by Dr. Elizabeth Way, curator of costume and accessories at MFIT, the exhibition reflects MFIT's mission to advance the understanding and appreciation of fashion's critical role in culture. The core of *Art X Fashion* lies in its profound engagement with the eternal question: "Is fashion art?" The exhibition explores the ways that fashion has always been a partner, not a follower, of fine art, highlighting typically overlooked integrations throughout history. This includes examples of how the two disciplines have worked together to create European styles, from the drama of Rococo and Neoclassical grandeur to the unsettling world of Surrealism, to the shock of Pop Art and postmodernism. **Share your excitement using #ArtXFashionMFIT** **Go to https://www.fitnyc.edu/museum/exhibitions/art-fashion/index.php for more information.**

Whether you are an entrepreneur, small business owner, business professional or just someone who wants to meet new people, this event is for you! It's the perfect opportunity to get away from your desk, have some cocktails and network with potential business partners, investors, industry professionals and new clients.... Or make some new friends! We've witnessed countless business connections and friendships form at our past events. We'd say about 70% of the crowd is usually single so it can be a great place to meet someone special as well. A Secret Networking Event is a revolutionary new event that is changing the way people network in NYC. It is a fun and easy way to connect with others in a relaxed, low pressure environment. **SECRET SYMBOL** After you sign up we'll send you an email with a list of different industries and interests to choose from. Each industry/interest will have a different "secret symbol". This secret symbol will let the other event attendees know what industry/industries you're in or what topic/topics you're interested in. Once you select what industry and/or topics you're interested in you'll be directed to a page with printable paper bracelet templates with your secret symbol on them. You can select one industry or multiple industries or topics. If you don't have access to a printer you can simply draw the secret symbol/s on the back of your hand with a marker or pen before arriving at the event. For example... those in the tech industry might have a triangle as their secret symbol... those in the real estate industry might have a square as their secret symbol... those single and looking to potentially meet someone special might have a circle as their secret symbol... those interested in crypto might have a lightning bolt as their secret symbol, etc. Then you simply show up at the venue at the listed start time and get started meeting people. **\*\* EVENT LOCATION IS LISTED ON THE EVENTBRITE PAGE \*\*** *\* QUICK NOTE: THIS IS A MULTI-MEETUP GROUP EVENT. 25 OTHER GROUPS HAVE ALSO BEEN INVITED SO WE'LL BE SURE TO HAVE A GOOD SIZE TURNOUT. THE RSVP LIST ON MEETUP ONLY REFLECTS A SMALL PORTION OF ACTUAL ATTENDEES.* *An email we received about one of our recent events: "Thank you so much for throwing such a great event. The crowd was really great and everyone was super friendly. As a busy professional I don't get that much time to get out and meet people so it was nice to be in such a relaxed environment. Event well done!" - Danielle, NYC* **//// Want to see all of the most fun events coming in NYC?

**français** *(see English description below)* Profitez de conversation française dans une ambiance détendue au bar. « Conversation française à Brooklyn » est un cercle de conversation en français qui se déroule vendredi soir. Au café, bar, ou parc, près du centre de Brooklyn et plusieurs lignes métro, il y aura un animateur francophone (moi) qui peut guider la conversation et fournir un mot ici et là. Le lieu peut changer d’une séance à l’autre, mais quel que soit l'endroit, vous pratiquerez beaucoup la langue française et ferez la connaissance de personnes intéressantes. Le but de ce groupe est de donner à ses participants (de tout niveau, sauf débutant) la possibilité de parler français. Dans ce groupe, on parle 100 % en français. Niveau : à partir de faible intermédiaire. **English** Enjoy French conversation in a relaxed atmosphere at a bar. “Conversation française à Brooklyn” is a French conversation group that takes place every other Friday evening. At a bar, café, or park near central Brooklyn and several subway lines, there will be a French speaking host (me) who can lead the conversation. The location may change from week to week, but wherever we are, you will be able to speak French and meet interesting people. The goal of this group is to give its participants (of all levels) the opportunity to practice French. In this group, we speak 100% in French (but don't be intimidated, we'll be there to help if you can't think of a word). If you're still learning, the recommended level to attend is weak intermediate or higher. If you can't follow the discussion, I'm happy to repeat anything or help you express some things that you might never have said in French before. The only way to improve is to practice! ***Donate to cover the costs of the group here: [https://www.venmo.com/u/brooklyn-meetup](https://www.venmo.com/u/brooklyn-meetup)***
