BDPA: 'Night at the Museum' - Network w/ IT Professionals of Color

OK. Actually, it's 'Day at the Museum', but, we couldn't resist the play on words with the comedy trilogy starring Ben Stiller. BDPA Cincinnati ... host of the monthly 'Blacks In Technology' meetups ... is coming together socially for a visit to the Cincinnati Arts Museum on Saturday, May 3, 2014 at 11:00 am. Meet us at the Café.

BDPA Cincinnati chapter is calling its members, sponsors and supporters to join us at the museum in support of an exhibit called, "From the Village to Vogue: The Modernist Jewelry of Art Smith". Organized by the Brooklyn Museum of Art, this exhibition features 24 pieces of silver and gold jewelry created by African American artist, Art Smith, as well as select pieces by his contemporaries. Inspired by surrealism, biomorphism, and primitivism, Smith was one of the leading modernist jewelers of the mid-twentieth century. His work is dynamic in both size and form. The presentation is enriched by archival materials from the artist’s estate, including sketches, tools, and model photos. Smith was an active supporter of Black civil rights, an avid jazz enthusiast, and a supporter of early Black modern dance groups. Admission to the Cincinnati Art Museum - http://www.cincinnatiartmuseum.org/ - is always FREE.
