THIRD THURSDAYS
HOMECOMING

October 17 | 5:30–9 PM

Celebrate the opening of our new special exhibition, In the Company of Artists, and revel in the creativity of the artists who have called the Museum home over the past 25 years. A wide range of artists join us on this night—Artists-in-Residence Rachel Perry and Dayanita Singh activate the galleries with their one-night-only experiences, Visiting Studio Artist Sabrina Dorsainvil brings a unique, hands-on activity to the Studio, and Choreographers-in-Residence All Ready bring Calderwood to life with newly commissioned dance pieces. Consider this your personal invitation to experience the collection through the eyes of artists—you won't want to miss this night!

ALL READY PERFORMS

In the culmination of their year as the Museum's Choreographers-in-Residence, All Ready gives the world premiere of a series of three newly commissioned dance pieces inspired by—and created especially for—the Gardner Museum. Music by Korean sensation DJ Donghyun is mixed from flamenco recordings given to Isabella by her close friend John Singer Sargent. These special performances begin at 5 pm, and continue until 8 pm, so don't miss out on your chance to watch as these stunning dancers fuse together our collection and the world of Latin-inspired hip-hop.
