Picasso, Matisse and Warhol are here and they want to meet you!
Attend College Night at the High Museum of Art on Saturday, January 28, from 7 p.m. to 12 midnight, and get to know all 14 of our modern masters. Join us for a night of live music and dancing, gallery viewing and do-it-yourself workshops inspired by the Museum’s special exhibition “Picasso to Warhol: Fourteen Modern Masters,” which features more than 100 world-famous works assembled exclusively for the High from the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
Students and visitors will have the chance to strike a pose in a Warhol Factory photo booth, drip paint like Jackson Pollock, curate a show in a readymade gallery and make Calder-inspired jewelry. But don’t stop there! Enjoy live performances by local bands Sweet Relief and the Carnivores. Neo-soul tastemakers Sweet Relief, a group comprising students from GSU, Clark Atlanta and Morehouse, will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. Beginning at 9 p.m., Atlanta-based indie cool kids the Carnivores will keep the crowd energized with their unparalleled garage rock sounds. Not enough? Refuel with a snack at Max’s Kansas City, where Pop art meets Pop life, and dance the night away with an exclusive Dance Truck dance party fueled by the eccentric beats of DJ Santiago Páramo.
From 9 to 10 p.m. students can ask Museum staff questions about the “Picasso to Warhol” exhibition via ArtClix, our new smartphone app that incorporates photo-recognition and social media to give audiences a complete interactive experience. Download ArtClix for free from the AppStore and the Android Marketplace and join the ArtClix community.
Students can also view “Trading Places, Part 1: Selected Works from the Collection of MOCA GA.” Highlighting selected paintings and drawings from the permanent collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia (MOCA GA), this exhibition comprises approximately 40 paintings and drawing by Georgia artists, including Larry Jens Anderson, Don Cooper, Herbert Creecy, Kojo Griffin, Medford Johnston, Katherine Mitchell, Larry Walker and Rocío Rodríguez.
